[wactclc-alma] JSTOR electronic collections

[Hill, Carleigh]

Activation and deactivation are almost instantaneous. I would deactivate first and delete before bringing in the new collection, just to avoid duplication of portfolios.

Since my library is now doing the new JSTOR pay-one-price community college model, rather than our previous 6 individual JSTOR collections, I need to update my activated Electronic Collections.  I can see the new one that I should most likely activate: “JSTOR Archival Journals and Primary Source Collection” (4496 portfolios) as that’s the exact name of the collection on our new invoice.  I also need to deactivate the 6 individual JSTOR collections I currently have activated.  My question is… is there a preferred order for doing this?



Should I activate the new collection first, and then once it’s working, deactivate the old ones?  Or should I deactivate the old ones before activating the new one?  That seems cleaner but I’m worried that we’ll have a gap in which nothing from JSTOR will show in Primo… I also can’t remember how long it takes for collections to deactivate, and activate, for Primo…!



Thanks!
