[Wactclc-alma] Simultaneous Delete Alma/OCLC Holdings

[Guidry, Wade]

Lynn,

Yes, having Alma report changes directly to OCLC about the holdings available on your holdings symbol can be accomplished:

https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/Alma_Online_Help_(English)/Integrations_with_External_Systems/030Resource_Management/110Publishing_to_OCLC#Initial_Publishing_Activities_with_OCLC

The first thing you need is a to set up a synchronization project with OCLC on your symbol. Setting up such a job will give you an OCLC project id, associated with your symbol, that can be used to report incremental changes. Just jobs used to require going through OCLC to get a job set up. But now it looks like you can setup up such a project yourself now, through the WorldShare Collection Manager: https://www.oclc.org/support/services/collection-manager/migration/dsc-migration.en.html/#gettingstarted

The next step is to have an FTP server available, to use to pass files back and forth from Alma to OCLC.

Have others already pursued this workflow? Or, are there others besides BTC interested in doing so?

Subject: Simultaneous Delete Alma/OCLC Holdings

Greetings,

I remember hearing that sometime in the future, it would be possible to delete bib records from Alma and at the same time have title-level holdings deleted from OCLC. Does anyone know if this is possible? I am using CatExpress.

Thank you,
Lynn
