CDI in NZ:
All libraries automatically inherit the Alma full text collections in CDI.
Libraries do not automatically inherit CDI records for Alma database-only e-collections.
Message in IZ “This institution is not inheriting Network Zone CDI activations” means the library is not inheriting CDI records for database-only Alma e-collections.
Needs to be configured to inherit in IZ.
All link-in-record linking type in CDI NZ e-collections: “CDI-only full text activation” = checked
Based on Ex Libris recommendations.
If there is partial open access (OA) in a CDI collection, the CDI full text linking will be removed (Do Not Show Full Text available in CDI even if active in Alma = checked). If there is full text from Alma, the full text link will appear in the full record.
Exceptions:
