Latest developments for librarians from Cambridge Journals

Latest CJO developments for libraries: KBART compliance and 
improved title

change information

The latest release of new functionality for Cambridge Journals 
Online (CJO) includes two specific enhancements for librarians: 
Package data in KBART compliant format and improved title change 
information pages.

KBART

Monthly title lists for Cambridge Journals in KBART format can 
now be accessed via a KBART Title Lists page, either as 
downloadable tab delimited files, or through a link to an ftp 
site:
http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayKbart?menu=Librarians&pageId=3648&sessionId=2E33B1C475C8B15E69F197BDEFBC46F8.tomcat1

We anticipate the KBART title lists will help improve three key 
aspects of OpenURL linking: the accuracy of data stored by 
knowledge bases, the discoverability of those resources via Link 
Resolvers, and the experience of librarians who administer the 
systems.

The KBART Title Lists page is located in the "Librarians", menu, 
linked from the CJO homepage, 
http://journals.cambridge.org/action/stream?pageId=3648&sessionId=2E33B=1C475C8B15E69F197BDEFBC46F8.tomcat1

Multiple lists are available, covering all the titles published 
on CJO, plus major packages of current collections and archives, 
as provided to site licence and consortia customers. We are 
aiming to add further packages, some of which will be tailored to 
individual consortia, on an ongoing basis. If you'd like to 
request the creation of a package to suit your consortia or 
institution, please email us at:

------------------------------------------

The KBART (Knowledge Bases and Related Tools) project was 
conceived by UKSG (http://www.uksg.org/) and NISO 
(http://www.niso.org/home) to ensure the timely transfer of 
accurate data to Knowledge Bases.

Phase 1 of KBART aims to establish a universally accepted format 
for publisher title and package information. It?s a simple 
metadata exchange format, in a tab delimited text file, which 
states when it was last updated.

This new format should assist users in finding content, reduce 
library support queries, and cut the costs and time associated 
with checking knowledge base library holdings.

Title change information

Many new titles have migrated to CJO in the past 2 years - and a 
handful have left, merged or ceased publication. To help the 
library community keep track of these changes, CJO features a 
Journal Updates page: 
http://journals.cambridge.org/action/stream?pageId=3648&type=ju&session=Id=2342FA7D5831EF18756B2FF5BB6BF1CD.tomcat1

We aim to keep this page as accurate as possible, though please 
be aware that we cannot formally announce a new title until the 
contract is signed, which can mean that announcements are spread 
throughout the year.

The Journal Updates page is also located in the Librarians menu, 
linked from the CJO homepage:
http://journals.cambridge.org/action/stream?pageId=3648&sessionId=A146C=305E32E0A5E88B709C2F0C4C5E8.tomcat1

You can also sign up for an RSS feed which sends out updates as 
soon as they are announced:

Additional new features

Simplified icons, which display the type of access available, 
have been introduced next to volumes, issues and articles. These 
all display in green with a letter denoting whether the access is 
via subscription, trial, open access, pay per view, etc. 
Mouse-over text also appears describing the access type.

Finally, registered Library Administrators can now benefit from 
an improved 'Subscription Details' page when they've logged-in, 
with subscriber numbers displayed next to journal name and year.

For further information about all the new features in the latest 
CJO release, please visit the New CJO Features page at:

There's more to come

CJO is upgraded with 3 regular releases of new and improved 
functionality per year. Look out for our next release of new 
features in Sept/Oct 2011.
