Hi George. Hope things are well with you and Rose
and the other folks you work with.
I downloaded this
report at the end of September – but only today got around to looking at
it for some title count work that I am doing. I was so excited to get this because I
had been downloading each vendor list quarterly on my own – painstaking,
but necessary for some of our ACRL and other reports.
Good news: it has only my providers/databases
listed.
Bad news: it has all of their titles, not just those titles to which we
subscribe. I immediately noticed
this because of the list of American Institute of Physics/Scitation
title list – it’s pretty lengthy on the downloaded report (170+
titles) and we only subscribe to 3 titles.
The data from the
“Hide” column does not appear on the report ----and if that is on purpose, then the
data is also NOT being taken into consideration when developing the report.
I hope this makes
sense and I hope it’s an easy fix.
As you know, the
report is massive, so I am not attaching a copy. Feel free to login into our account and
see what I’m talking about.
Thanks for
looking into this for us.
Chris

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.
