Hello. Welcome to FOLIO in 5. My name is Richard Burkitt, Director of Innovation at EBSCO. In today's session, we're going to look at the importance of high quality foundational metadata in electronic resource management. Why foundational? If the underlying data is poor, then how can you expect to accurately manage the electronic resource lifecycle within your ERM system? So knowing with accuracy what titles, packages, and providers form the corpus of your electronic resource collection is very important indeed. To achieve success, you need to have a trusted source of metadata. Welcome to the EBSCO Global Knowledgebase. With the inclusion of metadata
from around 2400 content providers, you can be sure that the data is comprehensive. With EBSCO’s
long-standing curatorial processes, you know you can trust it to be accurate as well. Here we see that foundational nature of the EBSCO Global Knowledgebase and its relationship with the applications within FOLIO that manage the electronic resource workflows. Notice that the same data also powers EBSCO Discovery Service and the EBSCO Link Resolver. Let's take a look at how that data works in action.
