Important Link: Institutional Identifiers in the Journal Supply Chain
dchvatal January 30th, 2007
As a preliminary investigation to the nature and content of my presentation, entitled: Institutional Identifiers in the Journal Supply Chain, go to http://www.journalsupplychain.org/ for information about the creation of Identify as a registry for institutional identification. You will find web-based resources, white papers, and summaries of current activity regarding a Pilot Project to improve efficiencies in the “journal supply chain”. What is the journal supply chain? Business activity (orders, claims, renewals) and communication (authentication, authorization) between interested parties: publishers, subscription agents, journal hosting platforms, fulfillment software companies, link resolvers, integrated library system vendors, libraries, other institutional and personal subscribers to journals and end-users of journal content. Whew. That’s a lot of ground to cover. For those deciding to participate in this program event, check the Course later and I will provide a link where you can look up the number of your institution’s identity along with the PowerPoint to be made at the conference.
