    Course Reserves

    Using the Course Reserves area, the Design Analytics user may create reports/dashboards for the Course Reserves area and is able to answer the following types of business questions:
    • Which courses reserved a specific title?
    • Which courses share the same titles?
    • What are the reading lists per department?
    For a video concerning Course Reserves, see the Course Reserves Subject Area video.
    For a video on the components and workflows of course reserves, as well as how to create course records and reading lists, see Creating Course Reserves. (4:26 min)
    Deleted course and reading list information is not available in analytic reports.

    Course Reserves
    Date fields can consist of a partial date, such as just the year or a month and year. Calendar Date fields always consist of a month, date, and year. If the information is not provided, 01 is added, so that a date of 2020 is rendered 01/01/2020. This date format is useful when filtering the report by date.

    Reading List Citation

    A reading list citation is a set of attributes that are associated with a citation in a list. It is not the metadata of the citation, but additional attributes that are not metadata, such as due dates, public notes, etc.
    The Reading List Citation table is a fact table that stores the measures relating to the number of citations. This table also holds details about the citation, including citation creator, citation status, and citation type. The primary key of the table is CITATION ID.
    For more information, see Leganto Analytics for Library. (6:58 min)

    Bibliographic Details

    The Bibliographic Details table is a dimension table that stores the bibliographic details of the course reserves. The primary key of the table is BIB_ID.
    The field descriptions can be found in the Bibliographic Details shared dimension.

    Ex Libris works with content providers worldwide to enrich the metadata available in the Alma Community Zone. To enrich the journal/serial content in the CZ, we work directly with the Library of Congress CONSER feed for electronic serials, which we match against our knowledge base to enrich with all of the relevant metadata fields that they supply (for more details, see Community Zone Serial Records Enrichment) and enrich the CZ records with all relevant metadata, including the 050 fields (when available).

     

    In the case of book content, we work with multiple providers who are willing to share their metadata with the Alma community globally (for more details, see Community Zone Monograph Records Enrichment). If you have local access to these classifications, you may want to consider working with the local extension for these records whenever an update is not available. (For more details, see Working with Local Extension Fields for Community Zone-linked Records.)

    The Bibliographic Details table contains two kinds of fields, those derived from the MARC record and those that come from Alma. Although in analytics there is no distinction made between these fields, for explanatory purposes we have divided them into two tables below.

    1. Removes non filing text.
    2. Removes <<>> and anything between them.
    3. Removes these characters: []|,.;:"
    4. Changes these characters to a space: !@#$%^&*()_+-={}\<>?/~'

    Creator Stores the name of the user that created the record
    Dewey Classification Stores the Dewey Classification
    Dewey Classification Top Line

    Stores the first 3 digits of the Dewey Classification

    Local Param 1-10 This field allows you to enrich the bibliographic information exported to Analytics with additional information from MARC fields in Alma.
    In order to make use of this field, you must contact Ex Libris Support and supply them with a three-digit MARC field code (for example, 901). (The field does not need to include a 9.)
    The fields can be number and code fields but not control fields. Therefore, the field must be greater than or equal to 010, because 00X are Control Fields and 01X-09X are Numbers and Code Fields.
    Following configuration of this field by Ex Libris Support, its value will be available in analytics.
    Subfields can be maintained in the Analytics fields identified for Local Param. When this capability is implemented, fields/subfields appear in Alma Analytics with the Alma subfield delimiter (either $$ or ‡) used to delineate the subfield content. Contact Support to enable this feature. Note that reindexing is required to fully implement this capability.
    Note that the local param fields are not related to the MARC type of the record. For example, if field 913 is defined to be in local param 1 then field 913 will always be in local param 1. This is the case if the record is of the type KORMARC, CNMARC, UNIMARC, MARC21, and so forth. It is not possible to have different sets of Local Param 1-10 for different types of MARC.
    The data in the local parameters is limited to 3900 characters.
    Managed by Provider Indicates if the electronic resource is managed by the provider
    MMS ID Stores the MMS ID of the item. This is the MMS ID of the portfolios associated with the electronic collection. It is not the MMS ID of the electronic collection or of the MMS ID of the descriptive bibliographic record added in the Additional tab of the electronic collection editor. If there are no portfolios, the value of this field is empty.
    Modification Date Stores the modification date. Date fields can consist of a partial date, such as just the year or a month and year.
    Modification Date (Calendar) Stores the modification date. Calendar Date fields always consist of a month, date, and year. If the information is not provided, 01 is added, so that a date of 2020 is rendered 01/01/2020. This date format is useful when filtering the report by date.
    Modified By Stores the user name that modified the record
    Network ID This field is used by institutions implementing a Network Zone. It is the same as the MMS ID of the bibliographic record in the Network Zone and can be used to create reports that show the MMS ID in the member institution (using the existing MMS ID), as well as the corresponding MMS ID in the Network Zone.
    Originating System The system where the bibliographic record originated
    Originating System ID The ID of the system where the bibliographic record originated
    Originating System Version The version of the originating system
    Peer Reviewed Indicates if the article was peer reviewed
    Provider Name The name of the provider

    Institution

    The shared Institution dimension allows the Network Zone to view reports according to institution. It is available in every subject area. It contains the following fields:
    Institution
    Field Description Additional information
