[Wactclc-alma] Major Ebook Fail

[Lesley Caldwell]

No, I’m not sure. There are also more collections showing than we believe we activated. We’re looking into it!

Our team thinks it would be lovely if one of the topics in the CLAMS pre-conference was around electronic collection acquisitions –> activation workflow, by the way. (hint, hint)

Lesley,

Edmonds access to Ebook Central is working fine.  Are you sure you activated the correct collection in Alma?  There were a lot to choose from.

Hi all,

Did anyone else’s Ebook Central set-up fail this week?

I’ve opened up a few tickets with Ex Libris, but was wondering if anyone else is seeing this.

Starting last week we have seen more and more ebook results showing up in our Primo as “No full text available”. For example, I just searched for “us foreign policy” in our Primo Library Catalog and results 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, AND 10 are showing “No full text available.”

Under View Online, you get the message “No full text available” and under Details it lists an Alma MMS ID. However, that title and ID are not in our Alma Institution. Some of these were working last week, but some we never owned.

I’m sure this is something that I did wrong when trying to set-up the new Ebook Central platform, but the issue just started happening.

Thanks for any guidance,

Lesley Caldwell
