2. Configure in OCLC
Log into WorldShare Collection Manager here: https://riu.share.worldcat.org/wms/
To enable WorldCat holdings maintenance (available only to libraries with an OCLC Cataloging and Metadata Subscription), under Metadata => Collection Manager, go to Institution Settings => WorldCat Holdings. Set Maintain Holdings to Yes.
Note: Maintain Holdings was set to Yes on 12/2018 and does not need to be repeated with subsequent KBART Automation vendors activations.
Note: If you click on the name of a selected Collection, and go to the Holdings and MARC Records section, you can disable Maintain WorldCat Holdings for a particular collection.
Under Metadata => Collection Manager, search by Provider and/or by Collection for "Elsevier*" and "ScienceDirect*" and deselect any existing Elsevier collections.
Send an email to support@oclc.org with the subject line "Please load my Elsevier collections" and the following message:
Please load my Elsevier Collections. My OCLC symbol is RIU. My Registry ID is 61731. My token is [provide token]. My Elsevier customer number is C000035679.
