Ex Libris Repository Searches and how to save sets

...

To see the Available For label and what your library is sharing, then you will need to do an electronic portfolio search for the title.   The Available For is  label is for electronic portfolios and collections only. 

I highly recommend searching by e-collection or e-portfolio to see which shared e-collections are available specifically for your library.  You can narrow down the results to just your institution using the Collection Available For or Available For facet on the left.

IZ-locally subscribed e-collections only  NZ=shared e-collections only . You will not be able to see NZ e-collections in the IZ.  If you do see an e-collection in both the IZ and the NZ that are the same, they are activated in both the IZ and the NZ.  If the NZ e-collection is being shared and the portfolios in the IZ e-collection are the same, the IZ e-collection can be deleted. If the active portfolios are different or have different coverage, the same e-collection can remain active/shared in the IZ and the NZ.

More information on Electronic Collection and Portfolio search indexes.  The Available For index is only searched during e-collection and e-portfolios searches.

    • Repository Search from Alma Drop-down menu: Find Physical Titles > Click on Advanced Search > Add Condition > Under All titles choose Is Linked  > equals NO > ADD Condition >  Under All Titles Other System # >  starts with OCLC

      • Results: All Titles where All titles (Is linked equals "No" and Other System Number starts with "oclc")

Complete list of shared resources for your library in the NZ.  Should match up the Merged Target list for SFX.

    • Do a Repository Search > Find Electronic Collection > click Advanced Search > Add Condition > check Collection Available Only For  in Electronic Collection section > click on Add Condition button > equals > Choose Campus

      • This will list the active e-collections for your library.  This may be easier to compare to SFX to see what migrated.

      • If you are comparing with the merged targets list: First change the Alma results Primary sort order from Rank to Collection name - Asc

      • Be aware the the target names in SFX may be slightly different than those appearing in Alma, which affects the order on the two lists.

      • If you want to weed out the OA e-collections to look at only subscribed collections first, Add Condition to the query: Change Query > Electronic collection > Free then add the condition and choose Not Free in dropdown and then click Go.
