Knowledge base management has never been a simple task and has become ever more complex as the variety of eResources that require management continues to increase. Maintenance is unending. Workflows constantly evolve.  Join this eForum to share insights and tips with colleagues, learn about standards, and express hopes for possible developments.

Topics we hope to cover:

·         Materials listed

·         Maintenance activities and workflows

·         System functionality: What do you use? What do you wish was available?

·         Related standards: OpenURL, KBART, and auto-KBART

What Is an e-Forum?

An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free.
