For Immediate Release: Denver, CO. September 3, 2009
GOLD
RUSH EXPORT ALL HOLDINGS REPORT
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.
