Online Selection & Acquisitions
Users assigned the Configure MARC Upload and View Automatic Upload Log Vendor permissions can enable and configure the Automatic List Retrieval process. This process is configured for each vendor in the Configure MARC Upload dialog, found under the Acquisitions Setup section of the Admin menu.
Those users can also view or delete entries from the Automatic Upload Log created by the Automatic List Retrieval process. At least one user should be designated to view the logs if this feature is enabled by the library.
The Automatic List Retrieval feature allows Online Selection & Acquisitions (OSA) to automatically retrieve lists or "carts" that are available from the FTP site of vendors that the user has configured for automatic uploading. Vendors will periodically place new files of MARC records on their FTP sites. In turn, OSA will periodically scan the FTP sites, retrieve the files and convert them into OSA selection lists.
The lists will appear under My Lists listing for the user configured as the Owner of Retrieved Lists in the vendor settings under Configure MARC Upload.
