It will include data such as publication information, related organizations, and model licenses, and will be accessible across all US and UK academic libraries. The initiative was funded in June 2012 by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and is being led by the Kuali OLE partner libraries and JISC. The expectation is that a beta version will be launched this summer. The ultimate goal of the effort is to enhance the supply chain lifecycle for libraries in managing electronic resources while mobilizing community effort to add quality, timeliness and economies to the library management environment."
