Add ‘Bokbasen’ as a new provider in the Upload Electronic Holding functionality in Alma
The collection Bokbasen Allvit (which contains Norwegian academic e-books) is now added to CZ. There is a need for a solution for the administration of this collection. The library administrator can at any time purchase a new time-limited e-book license or change the budget for pay-per-loan titles. This, in combination with time-limited licenses expiring at different times and days (365 days after the purchasing date) will cause the catalogue of available titles to change continuously. The catalogue will also be different per institution. In order to provide the end-user with accurate information about the availability for each institution, there is a need for an automated process for updating the inventory.
Due to the organic flow of titles in and out of the catalogue, Bokbasen needs to be able to update the different institution catalogues with availability statuses in rapid intervals. Hopefully this could be solved by an update of holdings from Bokbasen via the Integration Profile > Upload Electronic Holdings, on a daily basis.
To sum it up: In order to reflect the availability for each institution, we would like to have Bokbasen added as a provider in the Upload Electronic Holding functionality in Alma.
