Linking Parser Parameters: a Review

It has been six months since CARLI I-Share libraries migrated EBSCO e-collections from the Alma Network Zone to Alma Institution Zones. In this time, CARLI Support has received some tickets for issues involving linking parser parameters. 

In this session, we will review what the linking parser parameters are, where they are located, what is needed in these fields when they are present in an electronic collection, and what kind of errors to be on the lookout for when activating e-collections that use these.

Additionally, each library that attends the session will be provided with a spreadsheet of every e-collection active in your Institution Zone with the associated e-collection IDs, values in the linking parser parameters fields where applicable, and the proxy settings. This can aid in cleaning up e-collections to prevent future issues and errors. Note: This spreadsheet will reflect this information from the specific point in time in which it is downloaded. If activations and deletions occur after this point in time, they will not be reflected in the spreadsheet.

There will be a short presentation, Q & A, and the option to stay in the Zoom for Study Hall to work on cleaning up your institution's Alma e-collections. Registration is required and the presentation with Q & A will be recorded.
