[OYAN] MARC Records for Gale eBooks => Changes to GVRL Links & New Batch of Nat Geo Kids Records

[Jennifer Maurer]

Please pardon the cross-posting.
Hi,

As you may recall, MARC records for the eBooks in Gale Virtual Reference Library (GVRL) and National Geographic Kids (NGK) are available for you to add to your library catalog. The records are available from the Gale support page for Oregon library staff: http://galesupport.com/oregon/oslis.php. Please see the March 2017 email below for details.

New eBooks are regularly added to NGK, so every so often, Gale staffers add a new batch of MARC records that are available for download. A new batch was added in August.

Also, GVRL eBook MARC records now have direct linking to help users get into a book more quickly from your catalog. Links in records downloaded in the past led to the "About this Publication<http://go.galegroup.com/ps/i.do?p=GVRL&sw=w&u=oslis&v=2.1&it=aboutBook&id=GALE|8PFI>" page. Now, a link leads to the book's "Table of Contents<http://go.galegroup.com/ps/i.do?p=GVRL&sw=w&u=oslis&v=2.1&it=etoc&id=GALE|8PFI>" page. Both types of links will work, it's just that the link in the newer MARC record is one step closer to book content. Anyone who downloaded GVRL MARC records in the past and who wants to take advantage of the new linking will have to download the records again to replace your existing records. Up to you. FYI, the links for NGK eBook MARC records will most likely change in early 2018.

This post is available in the OSLIST archive: http://oslis.org/oslissupport/announcements/july-2017-june-2018/october-5-2017.

Please share this with the appropriate person in your library, and as always, please ask if you have questions.

Thanks,
Jen

Hi,

For two of the databases available through the statewide database contract, Gale is able to provide MARC records that you can add to your library catalog. Doing so provides additional discovery and access points for the eBooks.

The MARC records for the eBooks in Gale Virtual Reference Library (GVRL) and National Geographic Kids (NGK) are available for download from the Resource Links/URLs page<http://galesupport.com/oregon/lookup.php> of the Gale support site for Oregon library staff. Enter your public, academic, or tribal library's name and scroll down a bit on the page that pops up to find the MARC records information. School library staff should follow the directions in the archived OSLIST announcement<http://oslis.org/oslissupport/announcements/july-2016-june-2017/march-9-2017>.

For GVRL, you can download all of the MARC records or choose sets by audience level. There's also a file with just the new-to-us science eBooks<http://oslis.org/oslissupport/announcements/july-2016-june-2017/september-26-2016> aimed mostly at elementary students. Also, a State Library web page<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/technology/sdlp/GVRLtitles.aspx> has a spreadsheet that lists all of the titles available through our statewide instance of GVRL.

For National Geographic Kids, there is the option to download all of the records.

If you have questions about how to access the MARC records, please reach out to the Gale contact listed at the very bottom of the page.

This message is available in the OSLIST archive for quick reference and for those who cannot get embedded links in this message to work.
