Reaping Resources for Recommenders: Working with LibGuides, MarcEdit, and Other Simple Tools. Online
Presented by Nancy Babb, University of Buffalo
Primo VE's Resource Recommender functionality allows libraries to present a variety of curated resources in response to selected keyword tags. Databases and Library Guides are two types of common Resource Recommenders. Resource Recommender entries can be manually created in Alma or imported via Excel spreadsheet -- but the task may seem daunting for libraries who wish to include large lists of resources. The maintenance of these resources may also seem daunting, since the Alma Resource Recommender files are static and not automatically updated. Libraries that use LibGuides or another structured platform to host their library guides and database A-Z lists can use MarcEdit to harvest and process the OAI from their guides and A-Z lists and export the revised data for uploading to Alma. Excel and Notepad++ can be used for additional data cleanup and ongoing maintenance. This session will describe and demonstrate our process at University at Buffalo Libraries.
