    Digital Resource Management - August 2016 Enhancements

    Dublin Core Support for Bulk Ingest of Bibliographic Records

    Alma now includes enhanced support for Dublin Core format for bibliographic records.
    • In the MD Editor, when adding a metadata element with an encoding schema, a list of the schemas appears in a drop-down list. For example:

    Additional Digital Resource Management Enhancements

    • In mobile devices, PDF files are now displayed as download links, so that you can download these files and view them using a PDF viewer.
    • The job report produced when selecting Remove All to remove all titles from a collection (Resource Management > Search and Sets > Managing Collections > Actions > Edit) now displays the number of titles that were not removed from the collection because they contain digital inventory.
