| Title: | Institutional Identifiers in the Journal Supply Chain |
| Author: | Chvatal, Don |
| Abstract: | Current codes and identifiers for institutions (e.g., ISIL, SAN, DOI, MARC) are inadequate for providing metadata and linkage between institutional components of the journal supply chain. Ringgold, Inc. is collaborating with publishers, agents, aggregators, libraries, to remedy this as an independent and trusted agency to provide identifiers that can be used for the successful transmission of information between organizations to expedite the delivery of e-content to subscribers. The presentation summarizes the work of a pilot project involving UK subscribers (including British librararies), reporting on how the identifier is working there, its effects on publishers and suppliers, and its evolution to expanding coverage to institutional subscribers in North America. |
| Description: | Donald Chvatal is President of Ringgold, Inc. Ringgold develops and maintains Identify as a registry of institutional identifiers and webservice for publishers. Our mission is to classify institutional subscribers and organize metadata about them, thereby helping publishers to sell their products more effectively. Ringgold is working with publishers, agents, and libraries to explore using Identify to improve journal supply chain efficiencies. Ringgold also maintains OpenRFP, an e-Procurement toolkit for suppliers to educate librarians about products and for libraries to make better-informed purchase decisions. |
