FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HeinOnline Is Now a KBART-Endorsed Vendor
October 7, 2022
October 2022.
HeinOnline, a product of William S. Hein & Co., Inc., has recently received a KBART endorsement. KBART, which stands for “Knowledge Bases and Related Tools,” is a National Information Standards Organization (NISO) Recommended Practice for the communication of electronic resource title list and coverage data from content providers to knowledge base suppliers. KBART standards help to ensure the integrity and functionality of knowledge bases by offering a consistent method for relaying information. Approximately 40% of full-text usage on publisher sites is driven by library databases, so the ability for OpenURL link resolvers to utilize knowledge base title data provided by publishers is essential to make content more discoverable and accessible.
Each HeinOnline database includes unique URLs to download titles listings in KBART format (.csv & .txt). The files are updated monthly and provide a uniform structure that can be relied upon to support library link resolvers and electronic resource management systems for content discovery in library settings. A comprehensive list of downloadable title listings for HeinOnline databases is publicly accessible here: help.heinonline.org/kb/heinonline-database-title-listings/.
