The project’s initial focus will be on designing tools to facilitate reciprocal borrowing agreements within library consortia, including a shared index, request management system, and workflows for unmediated borrowing. This paper introduces ReShare and describes how the project partners are working to improve the resource sharing experience for library users and staff. It provides background about the project, describes development goals and progress, and addresses future possibilities for ReShare beyond its initial release.}, number={1-4}, journal={Serials Librarian}, author={Wilson, K. and Morris, J.}, year={2020}, pages={141–148} } @article{wilson_orphanides_2018, title={It’s Made of People: Designing Systems for Humans}, volume={44}, url={https://doi.org/10.1080/00987913.2018.1525244}, DOI={10.1080/00987913.2018.1525244}, abstractNote={Abstract Technical services staff, along with programmers, supervisors, and frontline librarians, participate in all sorts of systems.

The workshop was divided into four sections. The first provided an overview of the background, purpose, and value of KBART to all members of the information supply chain. The next section focused on the basic guidelines for effective exchange of metadata with knowledgebases, including method of exchange, data format, file naming conventions, and frequency of exchange. The remaining two sections of the workshop addressed the correct use of KBART data fields, first in relation to serials and then to monographs. Through classroom instruction, interactive quizzes, and hands-on exercises, the workshop provided in-depth coverage of all KBART data elements, with special focus on many of the most frequently asked questions about the recommended practice.}, number={1-4}, journal={Serials Librarian}, author={Ballegooie, M. and Meares, S. and Wilson, K.}, year={2017}, pages={15–25} } @article{wilson_2017, title={The Knowledgebase at the Center of the Universe}, volume={72}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85020185256&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1080/0361526X.2017.1320869}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT Since its advent more than 15 years ago, the knowledgebase has quietly deposed the catalog as the center of the library management and discovery universe. Knowledgebases provide libraries with an inventory of their e-resources holdings and describe the materials that a library has purchased at a more granular level than the traditional bibliographic record. Knowledgebases power key tools such as link resolvers and unified search platforms, support management needs across the e-resources lifecycle, and more recently have evolved to intersect with areas such as linked open data, community contribution models, and next-generation library management platforms. They have truly become the hub from which our most vital services operate. This report will provide an overview of “The Knowledgebase at the Center of the Universe,” an American Library Association Technology Report assessing the state of knowledgebase technology.
