I use the same steps as Christopher does, except for the format which I
use 'tab' for #1 and 'none' for #2
1) Create your list (review file)
2) U > Output USER-selected format
3) C > CREATE a new file for output
RECORD FORMAT
1 > Field
Delimiter......................................................... 9
2 > Text
Qualifier....................................................... none
3 > Repeated Field
Delimiter................................................ ;
4 > Maximum Field
Length................................................. None
4) Then, FTP the file and make sure to change the exertion to '.txt'.
This way you can open the file in any MS product such as Word, Excel, or
Access.
I hope this help.

We run lists by location as well but what Rhonda is asking is about
running a list of items on "course reserve." That is a separate thing
from location I think.

Subject: RE: export create list to Access
To: innopac@xxxxxxxxxx
Reply-To: innopac@xxxxxxxxxx
I create Access tables from III output many times per week. Here are
some easy steps:
1) Create your list (review file)
2) Output records: U > Output USER-selected format
3) Create new output file: C > CREATE a new file for output
NOTE: You will need to consider how to treat repeating (iterating)
fields.
See no. 3 below:
RECORD FORMAT
1 > Field Delimiter............................................ , 2 >
Text Qualifier............................................. " 3 >
Repeated Field Delimiter................................... ; 4 >
Maximum Field Length..................................... none
I use a ^ character to separate these fields, instead of the default ;
(semicolon). The combination of comma as field delimiter and quote as
text qualifier creates a comma delimited file format (CSV) which easily
imports into Excel, Access, or any database software. BUT, you need to
be carefully consider the impact of any repeating fields.
4) Transfer the desired file to your computer using FTP software. I run
local FTP software on my desktop computer (QVT/Net FTP server), which
comes along with the QVT FTP client software. I only turn the software
on when I am transferring files to or from III.
5) Import file into Access (or Excel).
I hope this is what you wanted to know.

Reply-To: innopac@xxxxxxxxxx
It has been 4 weeks since IUG met in Houston. During the conference
there were two Birds-of-a-feather sessions related specifically to
managing electronic journals in an Innovative System. In addition there
are a number of product development enhancements occurring that are
moving towards a good solution to this problem.
Enough background. At the BOaF sessions, a number of folks expressed an
interest in continuing this discussion on-line, even setting up a
distribution list specifically for this purpose. I offered to pursue
this, but have been quite busy since returning.
Enough excuses. I did ask the steering committee if they would be
willing to host a list for this purpose. They indicated that they
thought there would be more value to holding this discussion on the
current IUG list since the topic is so relevant to all libraries.
With that in mind, I propose that we do try to hold this discussion on
this list, but that we use a common subject prefix for all of the
postings so that they are easily retrieved and collated from the
archives. I suggest that we prefix EJM to the subject heading (e.g.,
Subject: "ejm - perl script" or "Re: ejm - load profile").
Who knows. There may be less to talk about than we think. Either way,
I will follow this posting by another post on topic.

Subject: EJM - The problem and an approach
To: innopac@xxxxxxxxxx
Organization: University of Northern Iowa
Reply-To: innopac@xxxxxxxxxx
One problem with managing e-journals in any library catalog is the sheer
bulk of the titles we are dealing with. Many e-journal providers seem
to be unstable in their title holdings, potentially dropping and adding
hundreds of titles in a very short period of time. This is particularly
the case with large aggregators such as Lexis/Nexis and Infotrac
Expanded Academic Index. This creates a huge maintenance problem.
This aspect of the problem can be summed up as: "How do we keep our
catalogs up to date and accurate with regards to e-journals so that we
can have confidence when it reports we do or do not have access to a
particular journal, that this is indeed the case?"
The nature of the e-joural providers themselves create another
interesting problem. Some providers give ISSUE access (e.g., Project
Muse) while others provide ARTICLE access (Lexis/Nexis) with out giving
you table of contents access points. Do we give the same weight to a
journal available from say Project Muse and that same title available
form Lexis/Nexis?
One of the very interesting results of the e-journal management problem
has been the appearance of locally developed Electronic Resource
Databases. These databases are built on a relational database back end
that is separate from the library catalog. They are used to present
bibliographic data to the end user that really should be available from
the catalog. This indicates to me that there are some perceived
limitations to the catalog that are causing folks to think that this
particular data must be made available from a resource other than the
catalog.
As I see it, the perceived shortcomings probably fall in two categories.
One category is the presentation problem. Our catalogs by nature are
places to search for things. That means you need to prime the pump to
get results. With e-journals, our inclination is to want to give as
much guidance to our end user as possible so that they don't start with
a blank search form and have to enter the magic search phrase that will
uncover the desired results. This usually means, canned searches and
multiple browse options with logical starting points.
The other category is the maintenance problem which boils down to this:
"How do we keep the e-journal data in our catalogs current?"
Here at UNI we are pursuing the following strategy to address the
maintenance problem of managing ejournals in our III system. Our current
focus is more on the large aggregators carrying 500+ titles.
1) Subscribe to Serials Solutions(SS) for accurate listing of our
e-journals. We obtain the data in both html and .CSV output
(spreadsheet).
2) Transform the data from SS into a marc format.
3) [a]Load the initial marc records into the III system as brief,
separate records. Do not attach or overwrite existing records.
[b]Upon subsequent loads, remove old brief records and load in new
ones.
Any suggestions concerning this strategy will be appreciated. Also any
local solutions that have been implemented as well as any general
discussion of this topic will be welcome as part of this discussion.

John and all;
I'll jump in here, though I wasn't at the User Group meeting, so don't =

In addition to the problems John mentioned, the display in the OPAC is a
= major problem for us. The Public Service librarians do not like
having to = bounce from bib record to bib record to discover which years
of the same = title we have in various forms. Our special journal title
database has = title of journal - years held - where held (in library or
in a database). = When a student is looking to see if we have journal
x, that is all s/he =
want's to know. Wouldn't it be nice if we could display different =
elements of records based on their format, especially for serials?
In our case, even if we found solutions to all the downloading,
inputting = and maintenance problems, our Public Services librarians
would still = insist on the special journal title database (and the
duplicate work that =
involves) because of the display problem.

Reply-To: innopac@xxxxxxxxxx
Thanks for the lead off John;
I would agree a big factor is scale, but its not just 500+ collections.
The license data required for 2 or 3 titles can be a real pain in
itself. So another aspect of the problem is that vendor relations are
more complex- and we have a lot more of them. My library has cases where
the license holder, the supplier and the fiscal agent for an online
resource are all different. So a number of Eresource databases are
strong on license and contact management.
NISO and the DLF recently held a joint workshop with a lot of
participants (including III) and there is a nice set of notes for anyone
interested in a broad discussion of the problem:
http://www.library.cornell.edu/cts/elicensestudy/nisodlf/home.htm
As for the more immediate question of maintaining holdings, my goal is
to have one master set of holdings that drive all catalog displays, web
lists and the like. We have been doing that in a fashion similar to
yours, by putting everything in the catalog and then exporting records
into an SQL database. This one directional flow allows staff to do
maintenance only via
III- but we have reached the limits of what can be stuffed into a
checkin.
Some details of our approach are different. In order to get better marc
records we went to multiple sources but that also means we have fewer
holdings than SerialsSolns(SS) could provide. Since SS is adding MARC we
may switch our approach. We also try to merge all formats onto the print
record and put URL's in the checkin. Using the checkin lets us merge
records and still delete and replace the specific subscription being
updated. This approach requires a bit more editing of incoming records
so I use MARC.pm for that. The new III product for maintaining lib has
is interesting if a bit pricey. It would allow us to save our local data
and just update the holdings with an external source like SS. The more
different suppliers you have the more a third party service pays off.

Tobey,
Make sure that "library.alliant.edu" is the actual name of your
server.=20 The actual machine name may be a bit different from the name
used as the =
url, and this is the one that needs to be usedin the Innovative
server=20 part of the resource URL. Use the instructions for an nslookup
in the CS =
Direct WabAccess Management-Proxy Rewrite Method FAQ. It is in the=20
section "How can I test my DNS entries?"

Reply-To: innopac@xxxxxxxxxx
In iii we were able to move the item, checkin, order and/or hold records
from one iii record to another by going to :
O> ORDERING and receiving subsystem
then
<A> ADDITIONAL ordering and receiving functions
then
<T> TRANSFER attached records.
I cannot find a way to do this in Millenium. Does anyone have any
information on how to do this?
Any help you can provide is most appreciated.

According to the Release 2002 enhancements, the feature that allows the
transfer of attached records will become part of the new Millennium
Editor (so it should be part of Milcat, Milacq and Milser). From what I
can tell, it will act like the program does in GUICAT, whereas it is
part of the editing program and not a stand alone product. So this
should be available in the fall.
This is not currently available in the Millennium suite of products.
