In our implementation of Alma, new UI, I do a simple search for: URL (Electronic Portfolio) / oecd ilibrary, which gives me 11 results: 3 are standalone portfolios; others are in an ecollection "OECD Periodicals". I click on the "Export List" icon and select the only option (Excel).
The resulting Excel file has 11 columns: A title; B Name; C Threshold; D title [which is an exact duplicate of column A "title"]; E underReview; F Availability; G MMS ID; H View It; I [blank]; J resultFromNetwork; and K Orders.
The first thing I have to do is delete 7 of these columns, because they are useless to me (C, D, E, F, H, I, J, and K). Then I have to start adding columns and bringing other data, copying and pasting, sorting and deleting. It's very time-consuming and aggravating.
Innovative Interfaces MIllenium and Sierra let me choose which fields I wanted to export from my search results. The selection process was a bit cumbersome, but precise: I could specify particular MARC fields and subfields, or a general category of fields such as "Titles" (to include uniform titles 245 fields, etc.). It is a HUGE shortcoming in Alma that users don't have that kind of control.
