FAQ

How do you automatically update your electronic holdings from Project MUSE?

Alma can be set up to retrieve holdings files from Project MUSE 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 Project MUSE token using the Project MUSE admin tool. For more information, contact the Project MUSE helpdesk for assistance.

 

2. Activate the following electronic collections from the Community Zone (CZ):

  • Project MUSE: Universal journals (Community Zone Electronic Collection ID = 615450000000005146)
  • Project MUSE: Universal books (Community Zone Electronic Collection ID = 615450000000005144)
  • Project MUSE: EBA books (Community Zone Electronic Collection ID = 615450000000005145)

 

Use the following settings:

 

 

 

3. Open a support ticket with OLS and share the token you got from Project MUSE. Specify who at your library should receive notifications about the success or failure of the autoload.
