Add Learning Express to Discovery, KB and Alma Community Zone
There is currently no discovery for Learning Express. This database is used by all libraries in Texas and should be added to the Community Zone and PCI for indexing and discovery.
96 votesHello,
Following a discussion with EBSCO, they have provided the below explanation for your convenience.
---
Since each customer may have different Learning Express modules enabled, there is no standard set of MARC records for all customers. Additionally, Learning Express MARC records are updated quarterly, so customers would need to update their records consistently. Therefore each Learning Express customer would need to maintain their MARC records individually.
Downloading MARC records for Learning Express is easy to do, and I am providing some documentation that you might pass along to your library customers:
1) The following is a link to the Instructions for Accessing & Downloading MARC Records guide (.pdf):
2) The following article is available on EBSCO Connect:
LearningExpress - Accessing, Downloading and Updating MARC Records
