OCLS Assistance with P2E (For Colleges to Complete)

Do not include collections in P2E that will be activated by other means. See the Troubleshooting e-Resource Duplication Issues note for more information.

Use the table below to identify collection titles that can be extracted in batch by OCLS for your P2E files. Include information OCLS staff can use to identify the collection records.

...

Collection Title

...

Collection Identifier (For example, 996=Curio, or 856=https://www.nfb.ca)

...

Indicate if this collection is a Database or Portfolio

Ex Libris Documentation

...

Publications du gouvernement du Canada

...

856=https://www.publications.gc.ca

...

Portfolio (these titles are e-portfolios) They should all be under that collection.

...

Cantook

...

996=Archambault

...

Portfolio (these titles are e-books/portfolios. Part of the Cantook e-books collection.

Note to Jennifer : 2 important notes :

In Alma, from test load, these portfolios are identified as book-electronic (which is fine). Right now, when clicking on the holdings (electronic (1) ) the collection name is always the title of the book. This seems ok but shouldn’t it be the collection title Cantook (or I think I had put Archambault in my original P2E) ?

Also, in Primo, these e-books are identified as Database. This does not make sense to me. I know Primo codes differently it seems, but these are identified as e-books in Alma. They are part of a collection (Cantook). We don’t subscribe to the whole database (basically Cantook is the interface where the books are housed). We buy a certain number of the e-books - it’s kind of a selective package. Not a database. I don’t understand why every e-books show as Database.

June 15, from Andrea

 LLacel , your forms looked really good. I updated your field mapping with the following changes:

  1. I mapped the old Sirsi SERC_TITLE_KEY to a note field (otherwise it wouldn’t migrate anywhere, since you switch to SISAC_ID as a matchpoint

  2. I changed the addr1 type to “home,' as we had discussed in notes for Cutover.

If you agree with these changes, there is no need to do anything more to your form and you can download this version as your final.

 June 15, from Andrea:

LLacel , your migration form also looked good. I made a few minor changes, outlined below:

View file
name01OCLS_LACITE_CO_Migration_Form_ExL_DRAFT_June15__v002.xlsm

Download THIS VERSION of the migration form in order to make any changes (if needed) before you submit your final migration form.

For “Changes” listed below, there is no action needed unless you want to make a different choice than I did.

Changes

Questionnaire Tab

  • I changed the question about course unit mapping from blank to “no,” just for completeness.

  • I changed line 19 to “No,” otherwise you would see “4” in alt call numbers:

Item Base Status

  • I removed the lines for “HOLDS” and “CHECKEDOUT,” since items with these statuses should be in your loans and requests extracts. We don’t need 999$k to tell us that.
