Taylor & Francis KBART Holdings API

The Taylor & Francis KBART Holdings API enables library management systems to automatically retrieve and synchronise institutional journal and eBook entitlements. Librarians generate a Customer Reference Number (CRN) token from the Librarian Dashboard, which LMS providers use to pull KBART holdings files on an automated schedule.
