How to publish a set of records from Alma to OCLC/WorldCat, regardless of the current Management Tags (force publish)?
- Product: Alma
Question
Many of our records are tagged "Don't Publish", but we would like to publish them to OCLC. The reverse situation exists too - need to delete records in batch from OCLC. Is there a job to force publishing, and flip the "Export to WorldCat" Management Tags?
Answer
To force a change to the "Export to WorldCat" Management Tags:
- Create an "All Titles" or "Physical Titles" Set
- Go to: Admin > Run a Job > select one of these jobs:
- Set Management Tags, or:
- Synchronize Bib records with external catalog
- Decide if to flag the records as "Don't Publish", "Publish holdings only", or "Publish bibliographic records"
- Run this first job.
- To send a file to OCLC's FTP server, proceed to the next step:
- Go to Admin > Run a Job > choose either "Bib OCLC Republish Set of Titles", or "Holding OCLC Republish Set of Titles", depending your requirements.
