Subject: Gold Rush "Export All Holdings" Report
NEWS
RELEASE
For Immediate Release: Denver, CO. September 3, 2009
The Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries is pleased to
announce a new “Export All Holdings” report in the Gold Rush Staff
Toolbox. This report is available to all libraries that use Gold Rush for
A-Z/link resolution and/or ERM (electronic resource management). The new report
allows a library to easily export their entire set of holdings from Gold Rush
in .csv (comma separated value) format which can then be easily imported into
Excel or other applications.
The “Export All Holdings” feature allows libraries to
export everything or to customize the extract to exclude classes of materials
such as open access journals, print journals and indexed-only titles.
These customizations can be run in any combination. Once the report is
staged the user will receive an email indicating report availability (usually
within 15 minutes) and will receive a link to a Website where it can be
downloaded. These reports can be quite large and this avoids the problem
of email limitations, firewalls and spam filters.
“Export All Holdings” shows all journals from all title
lists which a library has configured (selected) in the Gold Rush “Holdings”
tab. This report does not de-duplicate titles but lists journals in every
database in which they appear. It is recommended that if the export
is loaded into Excel, that version 2007 or later be used since older versions
have a limit of 65,536 rows.
Gold Rush supports a wide array of data export options
and to facilitate easy access to some of the options a new section has been
created in the Reports tab which groups many of the export options together so
that a library can determine what report is best for them. The
reports included in this tab include:
1.
Export All Holdings (described above)
2.
Download Journal Information for Provider and
Database (this supports the export of an individual title list)
3.
My Full Text Journals (this is a simple list of
journal titles/ISSNs which is de-duplicated and is a great place to get
a full-text journal count)
4.
XML Google Scholar Holdings (this is a library’s
XML holdings which are shared with Google Scholar if a library has configured
this feature. It is a de-duplicated list and shows maximum years of
coverage)
Not included above is a full XML extraction report which
can be run through the Gold Rush XML Gateway (called GRX) which allows a
library to essentially extract the same data as found in the new Export All
Holdings report but it is formatted in an XML markup. This full XML
extraction has been available for over a year and is described in the GRX
Documentation.
