Abstract
Abstract Accurate title and holding level metadata in a library’s link resolver knowledgebase is essential to providing access to ejournal entitlements. As a result of their complex title histories, publisher submitted ejournal metadata often needs to be manually updated in the link resolver knowledgebase to ensure title changes and coverage data align. This article will demonstrate how a custom report used at the University of Alberta Library identifies date discrepancies between link resolver and catalog data to drive link resolver knowledgebase clean up work for priority ejournal collections. It will end by highlighting how quality metadata produced by the library community might be leveraged by vendors to improve ejournal holding data globally in their link resolver knowledgebases.
