[Wactclc-primo] [EXTERNAL*]-Re: [Wactclc-alma] Activating CZ collections for a limited time

[Elena Bianco]

Hi Dan:

I have the same concern. We're deciding to keep it to the ones that are on our existing platforms, so Ebsco, ProQuest, etc. We are creating a library module for an Online Excellence Canvas course that some of our faculty are creating for colleagues, and mentioning that these are temporary additions to content.

Because we have faculty who are wanting streaming videos of things not currently in Films on Demand and Avon Academic Video, we just signed a master agreement with Kanopy that is allowing us to add a la carte films at $100/year, but we aren't making those films available via Alma. Departments are paying for them separately from the library and we're helping with EZProxy set up, but they will only be available in the instructor's Canvas course ...

Trying to keep it limited because we know we could never afford all of the extras normally...

Elena

Hey all,

How many folks are activating these trials? I've received so many promotional emails from EBSCO and others about free expanded access, but only until the end of May or June. How are folks reacting to that window? I'm worried about enabling content that is only present for some parts of the quarter and not others.

There has been some discussion on Alma-L about how to manage limited-time access to collections via Alma / Primo.



This discussion arose from the current crop of “free for a limited-time” collections<https://tinyurl.com/vendorsupportedaccess> being offered by vendors this spring, in response to COVID19.



In response to the discussion, ExLibris has posted a nice, succinct Powerpoint slide deck showing how to activate collections for a limited time, and to delete them afterwards:



How to activate an electronic collection for a limited time period<https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/@api/deki/files/80880/How_to_activate_an_electronic_collection_for_a_limited_time_period.pptx?revision=1>



You may wish to make use of this technique, if you find collections being offered gratis this spring that you’d like to make available viva Primo.
