In our institution, we have thousands of active electronic records for our institution but belong to the Community Zone. We want to copy massively these records to our catalog without having to do it one at a time.
Our usual procedure is, from an excel file in which we have the ISBNs or ISSNs of the electronic documents, to upload the portfolios from the electronic collection itself. In this way we bring and activate in our institution the portfolios of the collection, but this does not generate a local copy in our catalog of each of them. So, we have many thousands of portfolios brought to our institution in this way, but now we want to know how we can copy them to our catalog without having to do it one at a time.
We need to add many records from our IZ but linked to the Community Zone a marc field 526. In this note field we provide information on the recommended bibliography for our degrees. We need to load that field 526 via API.
The addition of this field 526 allows us afterwards that users can search in Primo for the bibliography recommended for their studies.
Currently, Alma does not allow the incorporation of this 526 field by API if that record is not copied in our catalog, so we need that record to be copied in our catalog. Adding this field to a record that is not copied in the catalog is possible if it is done one by one, but we want to do it via the API since it is several thousand records. However, the API gives an error if you try to put that field in a record linked to the CZ, without a copy to our local catalog.
Conclusion: We want to copy massively records from CZ to catalog without having to do it one at a time
