--> Organize IDs for exporting from Alma
Alma accepts both OCLC number and MMS ID.
Please note not all rows in the original data will be included in the process. For ones that are marked as in UFDC, won’t need to be included in the following excel.
When pulling the data, use Print OCLC. Only Print records hold values in 690 that record the discipline information. (details see the test in AlmaOCLCTest.xlsx where the first five records are Electronic and the latter five are Print )
Please also note Alma re-orders the rows when generating the export. If needed, sort both the original and Alma export by Title to ease the process of comparing the export and the original data.
As well, Alma's exports don't hold OCLC numbers regardless which identifier used to create the export.
When using OCLC number to produce Alma exports:
When using MMS ID,
