Bridges from the catalog to Discovery System & Process Changes in the Move to EBSCO Discovery Service Angela Flenner College of Charleston SIUG 2014
Topics • Catalog export • WebBridge changes • Record links between Classic Catalog & Discovery
Catalog export • Bi-weekly • Export entire catalog, with exception of suppressed records • Export in batches of 250,000-300,000 records • Would like to do updates-only, but currently have no way of identifying deletions • SFTP to EBSCO due to campus IT restrictions
WebBridge changes • Previously, only using WebBridge for articles • EDS brings up book citations • Despite these books existing our catalog, WebBridge did not link them because it was only configured to search our catalog for ISSN. • Also added option to search PASCAL (consortial) sharing catalog. Did not exist before because articles are not share-able in PASCAL.
Link to catalog record in Discovery • Formerly had direct link to Encore • Javascript lookup uses bib record number to match on EDS accession number • Comes after Permalink in the botlogo.html file • Also needs wwwoptions change: • ICON_RECORDLINK= <div class="bibRecordLink"><a href="%s" id="recordnum"><strong>Permalink</strong></a></div><div class="bibRecordLink"><span id="edsLink"></span></div>
Javascript in botlogo.html file • script type="text/javascript"> <!-- f (!document.getElementById("recordnum")) {} else{ // Get record number eg b number var ref = document.getElementById("recordnum").getAttribute("href"); varstr = ref.indexOf("=") varrecno = ref.substr(str+1,8); varedsLink = '<strong><a href="http://nuncio.cofc.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=cat00993a&AN=ccl.'+recno+'" target="_blank">View in Discovery</a></strong> <imgsrc="/screens/new_window_icon.gif" alt="new window icon" />'; // Put link to Discovery record on record page document.getElementById("edsLink").innerHTML = edsLink; } //--> </script>
Other discussion topics • Automating catalog exports? • Making decisions about what MARC records to load into the catalog, if they are already available in EDS (ie, Biblioboard)
