KBART

KBART (Knowledge Bases and Related Tools) files for all books and standard collections can be downloaded here.  

KBART recommended practice has as a goal to improve data exchange between publishers and link resolver providers in order to improve the functionality of Open URL. Open URL is a technology implemented in library systems which allows the library to direct its users to the 'appropriate copy' of each document, i.e. a copy to which the library has a full text access.

Routledge Handbooks Online (RHO) Title Lists follow the KBART recommended practice and are updated every time a book is published on the website. The files are in Tab Delimited Text format as specified by KBART recommendations. Please note that if the tab delimited file is opened in Excel, some formatting may be modified by Excel. To reformat the dates in the Excel file: Format > Cells > Date > select format YYYY-MM-DD. 

Please contact us if you have any questions or want to inform us about an error in a list.

MARC Records

MARC is the acronym for Machine-Readable Cataloging. It defines a data format by which computers exchange, use, and interpret bibliographic information, and its data elements make up the foundation of most library online public access catalogs used today. 

In order to aid discovery of the content on the platform MARC records will be provided free of charge.

You can download the MARC records below from the website but for more information please contact us.
