The Virtual Branch

Tuesday, March 2 was my first day in the virtual branch. I am working on a project to update all of our periodical holdings in Serials Solutions. The three steps of the project steps are:

1. Use Millenium "Make a List" to make a list of the periodical title, its holdings record number, and its ISSN.

2. Export the list to Excel and manipulate it as needed to convert the record number into a URL for the record, eliminate extraneous data, and correct title errors caused by special characters, particularly in foreign language titles.

3. Batch upload the file into Serials Solution.

We are now in step two.
