E-book technology firm ebrary, US, has announced that it has become the first e-book provider to become Serials Solutions KnowledgeWorks Certified. KnowledgeWorks Certified is a new publisher certification programme that helps Serials Solutions to maintain the highest quality bibliographic metadata for e-resources.
As a KnowledgeWorks Certified content provider, ebrary will provide more flexible ways for customers to find and access titles in their subscription ebook databases through Serials Solutions e-resource access and management services. Serials Solutions and ebrary's mutual customers may now access their subscription content directly through Serials Solutions KnowledgeWorks database.
To populate KnowledgeWorks, Serials Solutions collects bibliographic metadata from publishers and then cross checks with the Library of Congress and other authority-based data sources in order to normalise the data.
