Synchronizing a national union catalog with Alma CZ: Introducing automatic creation of electronic inventories within SUDOC
Session Abstract
All French university and higher education establishments' libraries create records and locate themselves in a single catalog called the SUDOC. The records are then transmitted to local systems. This architecture forces libraries to report inventories twice: in their local systems and then in the SUDOC. This is why we wanted to simplify the circuit by automating the creation of inventories between Alma and the SUDOC. This project started in 2018 with the help of ABES (Bibliographic Agency of Higher Education). It has led to the implementation of a synchronization workflow between the national catalog and Alma for electronic documentation. The workflow is currently being deployed in about 15 French institutions. In our presentation, we will first introduce the French landscape of electronic documentation cataloging. Then we will present the workflow configuration, the main difficulties we encountered in this project and the main benefits brought to our cataloging circuit.
