In this session we will explore the mechanics of data exchange for library discovery purposes, and the latest approaches to making life easier for publishers, systems vendors and librarians. Particular attention will be paid to the need for content providers to see what both librarians and systems providers already see during system setup and maintenance. Adoption of an open approach to more complex content curation problems will be examined, and some history of the situation leading up to the approach and the design considerations for the initiative will be shared. Current functions around the more open approach to data exchange management will be examined from the perspective of each of the presenters, with attention to reducing the librarian-as-middleman effort between the provider and the vendor. New workflows will be outlined that ensure data accuracy, reduction of data ingest time, and prevention of missing collection/s issues, thus increasing overall patron and librarian satisfaction
