at Lesley University's Brattle Campus We would love to have this lightning talk!
I am including a copy of the proposal you submitted below this message

Have a wonderful week,
Erin
"KBART is one of the most successful NISO recommendations today Formally supported by over
80 organizations across all stakeholder groups, it enables a standardized transfer of data between content providers and knowledge bases Recently KBART added an automated process to transfer institution-specific holdings data to knowledge bases
Now, the KBART Standing Committee is beginning work on Phase III of the KBART Recommended Practice, which has not been updated since 2014
While KBART was originally designed to deliver journal and book holdings information in support of OpenURL link resolvers, KBART files are now used in multiple systems and by various
stakeholders throughout the e-resource supply chain In addition, content providers have moved beyond journals and books to deliver multimedia and non-book/non-journal content from around the globe
In this lightning talk, in my role as Co-Chair of the KBART Standing Committee, I will provide a brief overview of our plans around KBART Phase III (i.e clarifying current recommendations, revising the KBART endorsement process, adding support for additional content types, improving the
usefulness of KBART for non-English/European language content, and ensuring that the KBART mission accurately reflects modern usage of KBART along with the needs of KBART Automation) I will also invite participation in the KBART Standing Committee by attendees interested in helping
us with our work "
