Our university library has purchased thousands of e-books from Proquest over the years using Pick & Choose. We want to be able to make these holdings available in our library catalogs.
The ERM tool of the new library system FOLIO allows the import of licensed titles as KBART files and would also enable the automatic update of KBART lists, saving us library customers a lot of work.
At the moment we have to export our "owned titles" in the admin area in the "Express MARC(UTF8)" format, then convert them using a MARC2KBART converter. Then we have to laboriously edit the result until the format corresponds to the KBART-NISO standard (removing special characters, filling the title_id column afterwards, deleting subtitles, etc.). This process is very time-consuming and can certainly be automated by Proquest so that licensing and ERM are made more customer-friendly.
