[Wactclc-primo] [EXTERNAL*]-Re: [Wactclc-alma] [EXTERNAL] - DOAJ collection activation

[Elena Bianco]

Hi Amy:

Thanks. This came up after I had an article I was looking for that should have been in DOAJ, and even though I also had that first one activated, it didn't show up in Primo. I submitted a case, and Wade  responded to me, recommending that we activate both of them. He said that they work together somehow so that the article links will appear. Without the second one (which looks like a database-only activation to me) somehow, apparently, the article-level linking won't happen.

 I'm still not quite understanding this, so if Wade or someone can explain how and why these two things work together for DOAJ, I'd sure appreciate it. For all of my other open access collections, I just activate the ones with the portfolios and they just automatically work. DOAJ seems to be different somehow. Wade said that the coverage for specific titles is no longer included in the CDI for whatever reason and so we're more likely to get broken links with DOAJ. Maybe that's why?

I don't know and it's making my head hurt. Koha's simplicity is looking really appealing to me right now...

I have the one with portfolios activated (“Not for CDI discovery”).

Hi all:



For those of you who have DOAJ activated, which of these do you have?

Also, if you activated #2, did you Activate or Activate for Search in CDI, or do you have to do both?



I'm still super confused by the whole CDI activation thing, even though I've watched all kinds of webinars about it...



Thanks,



Elena
