 ====== Batch Uploading OAIs from Scholarworks into OCLC and Aleph ====== ====== Batch Uploading OAIs from Scholarworks into OCLC and Aleph ======
 +====== CHANGE TITLE? ETDs (Current) Processing ScholarWorks OAIs ====== ​
 +
 +NOTE:  My helpful "​hints"​ will appear in //​Italics.//​
 +
 +**Introduction**  ​
 +
 +The Graduate School will email "​Packing Lists" dated February, May and September (end of semesters) of new dissertations,​ theses, MFA theses and occasionally LARP theses. ​ There may be a lag between these dates and when the ETDs are available on ScholarWorks. ​ //I try to process them after a couple of months have passed, to assure that they will be picked up in the Crosswalk harvest.//
 +
 +**Preparation**
 +  * Have a handy copy (either online or a printout) of the Packing List-in-process. **NOTE:** It's a good idea to save copies of these in appropriate folders. ​ Example: **PackingListReport_Feb2019diss.xlsx** in [Drive]:​\OAI\Dissertations\2019\ (i.e. 2019), or OAI\Theses, ThesesMFA or ThesesLARP.
 +  * Open MarcEdit. ​ (**NOTE:** Make sure your MarcEdit XSLT engine is set to SAXON.NET. On MarcEdit home page, click tools(found on top), Preferences,​ MARCEngine, select SAXON/NET under XSLT Engine.)
 +
 +**Harvesting from ScholarWorks**
 + 
 +  - **Click on Harvest OAI Records:** (Found on either the MarcEdit home page or under (top) tools/OAI Harvester Tools/) Set the following:
 +    * Server address: https://​scholarworks.umass.edu/​do/​oai/​
 +    * Set name (for dissertations): ​ publication:​dissertations_harvesting ​ (**IMPORTANT NOTE:  Because of software changes made in 2018, Erin Jerome needs to be informed before running a Crosswalk on __dissertations only__! Before they can be pulled, they need to be transferred from "​publication:​dissertations_2"​ to a special harvesting subset.**)
 +    * Set name (for theses): publication:​masters_theses_2
 +    * Set name (for MFAs): publication:​englmfa_theses ​ (**NOTE:** This series is only for English MFAs; MFAs for art etc. are included in masters_theses_2.)
 +    * Set name (for LARPs): publication:​
 +    * Metadata type: dcq  (**NOTE:** This is not included in the MarcEdit drop-down, but needs to be typed in. It's a "​modified"​ version of Dublin Core.)
 +    * Crosswalk path:  C:​\Crosswalk\XML1\OAIDCtoMARCXMLmodified.xsl (**NOTE:** This program needs to be loaded onto your personal C: drive.)
 +    * Start date (for May, in this format): 2019-06-01
 +    * End date (for May, in this format): 2019-08-31 (**NOTE:** Using August avoids Sept. lists. Occasionally these dates have to be tweaked to include everything on the appropriate Packing List.)
 +    * Hit "​OK"​ and let it run.  A green bar will appear if it is working. ​ (**NOTE** This function is a little cranky. //Recently it didn't work for me because I entered 2019-11-31 instead of 2019-11-30.// ​ Everything has to be entered **precisely**! If no amount of tweaking resolves the issue, contact bepress (Digital Commons), which occasionally blocks ScholarWorks harvesting for security purposes, Erin Jerome or Aaron Rubinstein.)
 +    * Once the harvesting is finished, a MarcEdit list will open up, containing the harvested records in raw form.  //I will save this immediately into the  appropriate OAI folder, as (example) **umdissertations_sept.mrk**//​
 +
 +  - **Check harvested records against Grad School'​s packing list**
 +    * Hint: In MarcEdit, click Edit/​Find/​enter =100 in "Find what" window/​click Find All. This will produce a list that can be saved to the clipboard, and copied into Excel or another program. ​ (**NOTE:** When working in MarcEdit, click File/Save after **every change**!! ​ Do NOT Save if no changes are made.)
 +    * **IMPORTANT NEW STEP, added 2020:**Go to ScholarWorks/​Dissertations and Theses and log onto "My account",​ scroll down to the appropriate series (i.e., DOCTORAL DISSERTATIONS (dissertations_2)/​Manage Dissertations/​Batch revise Excel ((see [[http://​www.library.umass.edu/​wikis/​acp/​doku.php?​id=oai_harvesting_via_marcedit|OAI Harvesting Via MarcEdit]] ):    Delete from the harvested list any names/​records which are not on the packing list
 +Note any names, MFA or otherwise, from packing list missing in harvested records. ​ (e.g., MFA theses are a different Scholarworks harvest and are done separately.)
