[Wactclc-alma] OCLC Connexion/Alma Acquisitions

[Hirning, Maryanne]

Thank you, George. I did try that yesterday and I see that I was able to add the book to my collection in OCLC, however I think I’m missing how to properly export the record to Alma. When I go to the next step in the acquisition workflow (searching for the record in Alma) I do not have a record for the physical book.

Sorry if I’m being obtuse and missing something obvious. Appreciate the help!

Hi Maryanne,

Pierce's screen shot is from the OCLC Connexion Client, if you are using the web-based http://connexion.oclc.org, the menu might look like this:

I hope this helps...

I’m listening to the recorded session today and going over the Alma acquisitions workflow. My predecessor only left directions for ordering/entering books into Alma using the “Item Search in Amazon” option, which doesn’t currently work.

I’m trying to follow the directions in the workflow, but I’m hung-up on the OCLA Connexion and exporting the record. I don’t get the menu that is included in Pierce’s screen grab. Is it possible that my OCLC Connexion was never configured to communicate with Alma? If I need to do that, I need all of the information (HostName, etc.) and I don’t know where to get that.

Any assistance would be so appreciated. I’m feeling a bit lost.
