Publishing Profiles

Translatable

For a video on setting up a publishing profile, watch Publishing Profiles(5 minutes).

With publishing profiles (Resources > Publishing > Publishing Profiles), you can export (publish) records using several methods.

You can create your own general or RSS publishing profiles or edit the built-in publishing profiles that are provided with Alma. Alma provides out-of-the-box publishing profiles for OCLC, Primo Central, Google Scholar, and so forth. These are the profiles that appear when you select the Built-in Profiles option from the Publishing Profile Type drop-down list.

To run publishing profiles, you need to configure them as active and select a scheduling option that identifies when you want the system to run your job. For all publishing jobs, except the following, you may also manually run a job by selecting Run from the list of actions:

  • Publish bibliographic records to Primo
  • Publish electronic records to Central Discovery Index
  • Publish bibliographic records to Summon
  • Publish electronic records to Summon
