[Wactclc-alma] Publishing to OCLC not working

[Guidry, Wade]

Yes, publishing to OCLC is possible. But Holdings are only published to OCLC if you have the appropriate job in Alma configured and running regularly:

AND

You have  a data synchronization service set up with OCLC (which should be available at no additional cost for OCLC cataloging customers):

The first step is to get your data sync service with OCLC underway. After that, the job in Alma can be configured and enabled.

Subject: [Wactclc-alma] Publishing to OCLC not working

When we catalog a book, the box to publish is checked, but the newly cataloged books are not showing up in OCLC.  I don't know if the baseline publishing job was done at cutover or what I need to do.  We do need to do an OCLC Holdings Reclamation Project at some point.
