Powered by the National Bibliographic Knowledgebase (NBK), it gives libraries the confidence to make space and collections decisions without risking long term access.
This event is relevant to PKSB areas: Collection Management and Development, Records Man- agement and Archiving, and Strategy, Planning and Management.
