FAQ

How do you automatically update your electronic holdings from JSTOR?

Alma can be set up to retrieve holdings files from ProQuest Ebook Central and manage your electronic resources in Alma based on those files. This feature will activate, deactivate, or update ebooks for your institution. This will save time and effort with electronic resource management. This feature is currently only available for ebooks, not ejournals. You must continue to manage your JSTOR ejournals manually.

1. Obtain a token for your institution from the provider. You can obtain a JSTOR token from the JSTOR admin site. For more information, contact JSTOR for assistance.

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

  • JSTOR AUTOHOLDINGS BOOKS (Community Zone Electronic Collection ID = 615400000000000569)

Use the following settings:

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