Summary:
"In his recent blog, Neil Grindley, Jisc's head of resource discovery, outlined Jisc’s case for a ‘national bibliographic knowledgebase’ (NBK) to help libraries make informed, data-driven, collection management decisions at a time of diminishing resources.
Now, they’ve announced a new partnership initiative designed to accelerate work to make the NBK a reality. The British Library welcomes this exciting new initiative and we look forward to collaborating with Jisc, Research Libraries UK (RLUK) and the Society of College, National and University Libraries (SCONUL) to build the NBK and deliver greater value, savings and efficiencies for the wider library community."
