I have a Government Publishing Office (GPO) autofeed set up, but I only want it to populate my electronic holdings or vice versa. Is this possible?
Applies to
- WorldShare Collection Manager
Answer
You may be able to adjust your GPO profile to include only electronic or non-electronic government documents holdings. If you wish to adjust your profile, contact the GPO.
However, if your GPO profile includes both electronic and non-electronic, we cannot remove the automatic feed for one collection; it is all or none. You can choose whether or not to receive MARC records and/or set WorldCat holdings at the collection-level. For example, if you do not want to receive MARC records or set WorldCat holdings on titles in the non-electronic collection, disable those settings in that collection.
The above option should address most concerns. However, if you do not want titles to be selected in one of the collections, there is an additional workaround. As long as you keep at least one title selected within the undesired collection and set the collection-level Data Sources setting to Manual Upload Only, the holdings feed will be blocked from populating that collection. Depending on your needs, you may also want to disable Maintain WorldCat Holdings for the undesired collection.
If you were to completely deselect one collection or the other, the holdings feed would not be blocked, and the titles would be automatically selected with the next provider load. You must keep at least one title selected and choose the Manual Upload Only setting.
Contact OCLC Support if you encounter problems making the change or if you have questions about the autofeed.
