[Wactclc-alma] [EXTERNAL] - Swank?

[Martin, Melinda]

I haven't heard of that option, but it also sounds interesting! I'd be very interested in what types of film coverage other WACTCLC colleges are doing (Kanopy, AVON, etc.) and the scope of coverage (how many films annually - how are you budgeting, etc.)

This is a current conversation for us, as the demand is increasing, but our budget is not.  It may also be of interest if we can find discounts as a group longer-term.

We do the "Flex 75" model from Swank (75 titles of our choice and 75 "swap outs" over the course of 12 months) so I have to maintain a curated Swank collection in Alma, rather than activate the entire collection from the CZ.  However I do use the CZ portfolios for the films we do activate.  I spot checked and am not seeing issues so far from Primo.

Evening y'all,

Does anyone else subscribe to Swank films? Our local collection of portfolios stopped working today in Primo. The films are still accessible through the Swank database.

Most of our portfolios haven't been modified since 2018, so it's really odd. Just wondering if anyone else was seeing the same thing!

I'm thinking of doing a fresh import of marc records tomorrow.

Thanks!
Lesley
