Introduction to “Open Research Library” by Knowledge Unlatched
Knowledge Unlatched (KU) is an initiative that since 2012 works together with Libraries and Institutions to expand the scope of open access scholarly content, making them available for any and all readers around the world.
In this webinar, Wilson de Souza, Regional Manager at KU, will introduce Open Research Library. This is a free central hosting platform for academic open access content, developed in partnership with BiblioLabs, and currently hosting more than 14 thousand titles from a wide range of disciplines. The platform is free to use for users and provides MARC records, but certain features (usage statistics, customizing accessible content, etc.) are only available through a subscription.
In addition to presenting the main user-level functionalities, Wilson will also present how librarians can easily index the content of the ORL in their library systems, either by using a Discovery Service, if they use one, or by downloading MARC Records.
Questions will also be clarified at the end of the presentation.
