[Wactclc-alma] overlap analysis question

[Guidry, Wade]

Best comparison I could come up with was to compare the title list for the WSL-offered Newsbank collection<https://www.sos.wa.gov/_assets/library/libraries/projects/sdl/NewsBank%20Source%20List_AWN%20RC_10-16-17.xls> with the Olympic College Alma holdings.



Results:



Unmatched titles - 9,805

Matched titles - 865



Based on this comparison, there isn't a lot of overlap between Olympic's existing holdings and the titles in the Newsbank World Access collection offered by WSL.



This comparison is subject to some error, because matching titles can be inexact. Comparing a list of ISSNs would be preferred, but the title list from Newsbank does not include ISSNs.



And as Amy pointed out yesterday, the World Access collection in the CZ (which may not be an exact match to the WSL offering) does not include ISSNs for the majority of titles.



A lot of these titles are smaller newspapers, and they may just not have ISSNs. Or at least, not well-documented ISSNs.

?also supports title comparison (or maybe title and issn in combo)





I'll give it a try myself tomorrow and share the results.





Especially since the specific question applies to others considering newsbank.





And I notice on librarydir today that they are asking for feedback on the trial.

Amy,



If you export the ISSNs from the CZ collection to an Excel spreadsheet, you can do a 'selected titles' comparison to get what you need:



https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/040Resource_Management/070Advanced_Tools/010Overlap_Analysis#Performing_Overlap_and_Collection_Analysis_for_Selected_Titles



To get a list of the ISSNs, go to the community zone collection, select portfolio list, and do an extended export.



If you get stuck, just post back...

I never put our Newsbank trial content in Alma/Primo.  I am now trying to run a collection overlap analysis so that I can compare our newspaper collections in our Institution Zone to Newsbank in the Community Zone.  I am able to successfully compare them to see how many unique titles are in our current Institution Zone collections.  But I can't see a way to reverse it.  It won't let me see what unique content is in Newsbank in the CZ, compared to the newspaper collections in our Institution Zone.  Is that by design or am I missing something?
