[Wactclc-alma] Community Zone best practices question

[Whittaker, Shellie]

Hi Paula,

You might be able to use the Metadata Editor's Search External Resources to locate and import the record from Worldcat (or LC), then create a POL with the little shopping basket icon or Ctrl+Alt+O.

Paula,

I would just add those 5 additional titles as local portfolios (Resources / Create Inventory / Add local Portfolio), and just "Create New Title", to create a brief title. (You can always update those titles later with better data.)

Then, depending on how you are handling the other 21 titles, you can either set up the new portfolio as a "standalone" or "part of an electronic collection", and select the relevant collection you are using.

I believe that will work, but if you get stuck, just post back.

I am creating po lines for 26 one-time e-book titles purchased through Ebsco. I was able to find 21 of the 26 records in the community zone, but 5 records do not exist there.

I don't want to package my PO with an incomplete list of titles.
Do I open a salesforce case to ask for the 5 records to be added?
Do I locate the records in OCLC, upload to ALMA, and create a local mini-collection?
Any other choices/ideas?

The criteria for users adding a record to the community zone are extremely limited and not an option.

Paula
