“…The project aims to build a freely available, community-supported knowledgebase of electronic resource title-and package-level metadata. Although currently the metadata are supplied and maintained by the GOKb editors, Kuali OLE partner editors, and other contributors, the GOKb project model will ultimately rely on the broader community of users to provide and maintain quality metadata within the knowledgebase (Hill & Collins, 2014). In the future, there may also be opportunities to coordinate with other national knowledgebases, such as those in Germany, France, Sweden, and Japan, to further achieve economies of scale and reduce the duplication of effort across these initiatives (Hill & Collins, 2014).…”

Over a decade ago, knowledgebases entered the library marketplace as stand-alone products to facilitate electronic resource management and end-user access. Keeping pace with the increasing availability of electronic content, these systems have grown exponentially and have become integral components of electronic resource management and discovery product suites. This review article traces the evolution of knowledgebase systems and highlights recent initiatives to standardize and improve e-resource metadata. Looking to the future of electronic resource management, knowledgebase-centric systems not only have the potential to improve the automation of e-resource management tasks, they also can foster increased collaboration among libraries, thereby transforming how libraries work and provide services to end users.
