Digital Article File size error 10MB
-
An institution has been receiving error messages when they send digital articles through Alma. It's a "File size exceeds 10MB" error when they ship digital files, however, the actual limit for file size in Alma is 25MB. Nicole can't seem to recreate the error on her end and Ex Libris hasn't been able to either. ODIN would like to know if any of the other library staff have seen this error when shipping digital files that exceed 10MB
Alma/OCLC Automated Lending String
-
Tina demonstrated how to create customs holdings groups in OCLC using the policies directory and filters. There are also two custom holdings groups (one for free books and articles, and one strictly for free articles). For those interested in setting up an Alma/OCLC resource sharing functionality or updating their custom holdings groups/paths, please reach out to Tina
Resource Sharing Directory
-
Tina’s interested in setting up libraries with the directory; please reach out to her if you’re interested. More information below from 26 October 2022 meeting:
-
Central place with up-to-date info about Resource Sharing libraries in Alma
-
Being part of the Directory means you can borrow and lend with other Directory libraries across the country, expanding your RS options
-
This is especially helpful for libraries that can’t afford WorldShare or need to drop it due to budget constraints
-
One page RS Directory Info Sheet available under Attachments at top of page
