How do you automatically update your electronic holdings from Springer?
Alma can be set up to retrieve holdings files from Springer and manage your electronic resources in Alma based on those files. This feature will activate, deactivate, or update ebooks and ejournals for your institution. This will save time and effort with electronic resource management.
1. Obtain a token for your institution from the provider. You can create a Springer token using the Librarian Portal. The token is listed in the "Content" section under the heading "Automated title list updates / automatic collection loading." For more information, contact Springer for assistance.
2. Activate the following electronic collections from the Community Zone (CZ):
- SpringerLink Books - AutoHoldings (Community Zone Collection ID = 613860000000000883)
- SpringerLink Journals - AutoHoldings (Community Zone Collection ID = 613860000000000884)
Use the following settings:
3. Open a support ticket with OLS and share the token you got from Springer. Specify who at your library should receive notifications about the success or failure of the autoload.
