Open Library Community Webinar
We’re excited to announce that the GOKb quarterly user group calls will now be part of the ongoing Open Library Community Webinar Series. The first one will be held on August 10, at 11 AM EDT.
GOKb Update Forum: Data Enhancement Strategies and New Services
In this forum, facilitated by the Open Library Environment (OLE), Kristen Wilson and Jennifer Solomon will discuss GOKb current and upcoming projects. Attendees can ask questions about GOKb's current data enhancement strategy, learn about potential new services built on the FOLIO platform, and how they can participate as GOKb partners.

Website Launch
Now you can access all GOKb information and the web application directly from www.gokb.org. We have a new look, updated content, and simplified navigation. We’ll also be adding some new features soon, including a direct link to a packages export page.
New GOKb Web Application URL
The GOKb web application has moved! Please update your bookmarks: http://gokb.openlibraryfoundation.org/
Based on the pilot project with libraries in the UK, there are a number of new use cases and enhanced developments that could represent valuable next steps, so we’re keen to gain feedback from the widest possible practitioner community, including views on relevance in US academic libraries. Registration TBD: Early September 2016
