Abstract
Alma publishing profiles are a powerful and flexible way to export metadata from Alma. In this presentation, we will demonstrate how publishing profiles play a key role in customizing and normalizing data to meet project needs, and discuss when they are a better choice than Alma Analytics or the Export Bibliographic Records job. Publishing profiles can easily incorporate physical or electronic inventory information into MARC bibliographic records for further analysis and transformation through various MARC editing and processing tools. Publishing also allows powerful filtering rules and normalization routines to customize data outputs and can work incrementally via OAI-PMH for data harvest and processing by external programs. Applications covered in the presentation include: using published data for analysis to support enrichment and remediation projects, exporting transformed metadata for ingest into a local digital repository, incremental OAI publishing for external partners, and using general publishing for OCLC Datasync.
