WorldShare Collection Manager Release notes, April 2023

Collections 

Users will now have the option to select multiple filters when searching collections.  

Titles

In addition to the option to select multiple filters when searching for titles, users will now have the option to search by Provider and Coverage.

• Providers can be searched in the dropdown by typing the provider name.  Multiple providers can be searched by clicking on each desired provider.

• Coverage Enumeration and Coverage Date search ranges that include the specified searched enumeration or date.

Addition of additional filter options for Title searches within collections

Users will have the ability to refine results by using multiple filters.  These filters include Coverage Depth, Coverage Enumeration, and Coverage Date

Addition of Title Index dropdown options

Users will see an additional drop-down menu that includes keyword, title, ISBN, ISSN, and OCLC number.  The keyword index will be the default search for the title and will function as it always has.

Users will now have an updated search experience in Activity History.

• Accessibility, including the usage of Screen Readers, will be improved.

Link to Detailed KBART upload in Activity History

When users see a Collection Updated activity for KBART activity, there will now be a link to the detailed KBART Upload page in Activity History directly from the Collection History.

Libraries will now be able to contact OCLC to have Project MUSE automate the maintenance of your library's holdings, eliminating the need for manual management of these collections by library staff.

This means that, with your permission, Project MUSE will make weekly updates available to OCLC containing your library-specific holdings data, including new and deleted titles, so that OCLC can automatically:

• Register your titles in the WorldCat knowledge base
• Keep your WorldCat holdings up to date for your Project MUSE purchased ebooks, EBA Ebooks, and journal titles
• Set your library's specific coverage dates and enumerations on your journal titles
• Provide full-text links to ensure seamless access
• Deliver customizable MARC records with ongoing updates as your subscriptions change over time

To learn how to be included in this automation and make your Project MUSE titles easier to find, access, and manage, please visit Project MUSE.

Users will now have the option to delete additional fields from MARC records prior to MARC record delivery

• Additional fields include: 003, 005, 006, 007, 019, 040, 041, 042, 043, 044, 045, 046, 047, 048, 049, 051, 052, 055, 066, 251, 264, 334, 335, 341, 344, 345, 346, 347, 348, 353, 365, 366, 370, 377, 385, 386, 387, 388, 532, 647, 688, 758, 776, 788, 864, 881, 883, 884, 885

The option to add a proxy to open access collections is now replaced with a note that says, "Proxy is not used for open access collections."

IP Authenticated Users will now have the option to redirect to their library's instance of WorldCat Discovery.
