[Wactclc-alma] Analytics Report - Print vs. Electronic

[Guidry, Wade]

What data point do you want to match on between electronic and physical? ISBN? Title? OCLC #?

You could do something like this in analytics. I'll have to think about it.

The challenge is that any match point between physical and electronic is likely to have metadata variations, so matching is going to be spotty and not fully accurate.

Traci, I'm guessing that report you looked at is to identify title records with both physical and electronic holdings attached. Did you look at the underlying query?

Meanwhile, there is already a 'duplicate titles analysis' in Alma, under Resources / Advanced Tools / Duplicate Title Analysis. That report will let you identify duplicate titles based on ISBN, ISSN,  or other identifiers. That would be a good place to start, and would help find titles where identifier is an easy match.

I'd like to see this addressed in a weekly Zoom call.

I am curious how other libraries handle these titles. In Voyager days we would combine the holdings records for both print and electronic formats under one bib record, usually the print record. When we migrated to Alma, I was told that this was not a good way to handle the duplicate titles.

Hi Wade,

I would like to create an Analytics report to compare our print collection and eBook collections. I am looking for print titles that we own and that are also available as an electronic portfolio. I found this report, Duplicate or the Same Titles with electronic Portfolios AND Physical Items, in the WACTCLC Consortia reports. When I open this report, I get zero results. Can I get your help with this when you have time?
