Session Notes
Discussion forum posts since last meeting
Exact image of a specific journal title page for an article in that specific journal: GBC seem to have the specific image of the specific journal title page of a given journal article. I assume this is linked to the ISSN but maybe also to Syndetics ? Not sure if other colleges configured this ? if you have some info on this, care to share with us please ?https://librarysearch.georgebrown.ca/permalink/01OCLS_BROWN/1acol81/cdi_proquest_miscellaneous_2956160006
Michael Reansbury, George Brown: The portfolio title is coming from the Network Zone.
Danielle Emon (OCLS):
if updating an 050, best to put that in your holdings record
that allows you to carry that number over to multiple items if you need to
there is also a configuration to tell Alma where to put that in your holdings record
something to bring up with Metadata Steering re process/instruction - perfectly acceptable to adjust IZ holdings record, rather than updating the NZ record
Discussion:
Rebecca Pearson, Lambton - Storage space available for each college for analytics report:
The storage space for each college is 0.5
There were discussions about this in the OCLS Alma-D Implementation Basecamp space:

Terri Duff, Fleming:
I recently changed all the envelope images in Alma D to something prettier.
Michael Reansbury, George Brown - adding concurrent users for electronic titles in public access field for portfolios
Leganto suggests adding information about how many users can access the resource
If unlimited users, might want to automatically set the citation to complete, because there will never be an access issue
if it isn’t unlimited access, might want to enter that in the public access field so you can run a report later to see how many people are getting turned away and then potentially the library might want to look into increasing their access
specifically for ebooks
Rebecca Pearson - we receive e-mail from ebsco when someone tries to get unlimited - if someone tries to open full text, isn’t there a notification?
Michael: this would be a more proactive approach
e.g. library would mark the title as limiter user (3 or single users) and when a professor adds it to their course list, the library will be notified
the library would be able run an analytics report to identify these resources and get notifications from the system
Emma Shaw, Sheridan:
We have it set p for rialto titles but its patchy at best
portfolio > view > acquisitions tab
serves the same purpose for us as a note that would be an authentication or a public note
works automatically if you purchase with Rialto, don’t use it otherwise
use it only for single user resources
don’t have Leganto, so not sure how they would work together
Rebecca Pearson - scheduled jobs status widget on home dashboard, import job errors
use monitor jobs everyday
get errors on the weekend for different Rialto import jobs
similar problems with import job error on the weekends experienced at George Brown, Fanshawe, Sheridan
Micahel Reansbury, George Brown and Terri Duff, Sheridan were told by Ex Libris that this is normal
Rebecca will try the Alma chat and report back to the group with the response she receives from Ex Libris
Rebecca Pearson - broken barcodes in letters
Barcodes on pick from shelf and hold shelf letters are working, but for other letters the barcode image is broken
has anyone else experienced this and fixed it?
Erin Williams, Fanshawe: also experiencing this right now with newly enabled letters and letters that they were already using - their course reserve/citation slip letter was fine last semester, but the barcode is now broken
Rebecca will send Ex Libris ticket and update the group
