Description

P2E Recommendations for Applicable Sites - Process, Implementation and Results (from Phase 3 Critical Issues). The P2E process is how Ex Libris builds the packages, databases, and portfolios for electronic resources, taking the specified data set through a “print” stage, then building the electronic components (hence, P2E). Defining the data set(s) as accurately as possible minimizes mismatched records after migration (i.e., print that should be electronic, electronic that should be print), duplication in the discovery layer, and subsequent clean-up post-migration.

Decision-making process

FG discussion/analysis of P2E implications for Acquisitions records and creations of portfolios. Intersecting discussions between CDL/Ex Libris, PPC, etc. for coordinated recommendation for the P2E files for the Vanguard.

Recommendation

  • For SCP data in institution’s ILS, see Preparation of Campus SCP Data - Vanguard . FG concurs with recommendation regarding removal of SCP bibliographic records with no other record types attached from the ILS extract provided to Ex Libris, and the removal of SCP fields/subfields for bibliographic records that have other record types attached, including local resources. It is understood that CDL will prepare SCP data for the P2E file for the Network Zone. FG advises Vanguard campuses to prepare their records for SCP/CDL resources that may have CDL order records attached with migration outcomes in mind (re: ; this includes consideration of the order record type as electronic, electronic inventory that will be created (i.e., electronic or print), and any clean-up of electronic inventory needed post-migration to Vanguard).

  • For bib records that have separate orders for print and electronic formats (i.e., these are separate records on the same bib), FG recommends separating these into one record representing the electronic, and one representing the print. Include the electronic in the P2E file. If these are unable to be separated before preparing the P2E file and ILS extract, include the bib record on the P2E file and track post-migration in the Vanguard for post-migration clean-up.

  • For orders that represent combined print and electronic that cannot be separated (i.e., they are “bundled” into one subscription), FG recommends for Vanguard Institutions/ IZ:

    • Selecting a sample of titles to include in P2E file. Will Expected behavior is that these will go through Ex Libris’s process of mapping electronic holding to portfolio and leaving print.

    • Selecting a sample of titles to NOT include in P2E file. These will migrate as print orders, and will need to have the electronic portfolio set up in the Vanguard.

      • RATIONALE: Alma is designed to assume that the electronic subscription is primary, with print subscriptions waning. Ex Libris recommends that combined p+e go through the P2E process.

      • TEST: Creation of order types during migration process, ability to link print and electronic, benefit of preferring one approach over the other for post-Vanguard migration.

FG Call with Ex Libris

June 3, 2020

Re: Leaving Combined P+E as print: For those that are left as print through migration, is it possible to create a post-migration batch to reload as an e-record? 

Response: Yes. Those records can be exported, withdrawn from Alma. Then repository import profile can be used to re-import the bibs and create as e-inventory.

Done. See Basecamp / Call Notes.

  • Alma Campus 1: When combined making electronic journal subscription order have an acq method of Purchase. Print journal subscription would have an acq method of “technical” because NO payment. Then manually link them post-migration.

  • Alma Campus 2: Recommending separating print and electronic into their own records if possible.
