Good morning

I recently received a notice from Ebsco about a new (?) service--Faculty Select--an interface to access open textbooks.  Perhaps this is related?

I wonder if the collection in EBSCO’s holdings management index just needs to be updated with the new and/or alternate title. The BC Open Textbook Collection has 273 titles. The record for OER discipline guide has a URL of https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=64a1891e-b85d-40f2-9043-cbfe9eccd44f&contributor=&keyword=&subject=. I am not seeing a record for OER by Discipline Directory.

Hi Martin,

 

We recently change the name and cover for this resource (on May 13/19) from OER by Discipline Guide to OER by Discipline Directory. Perhaps this is the reason for the two numbers.

Amanda,

 

I have no idea what the Faculty Portal IR is either, but the record is for the OER by Discipline Guide in our EDS:

 

 

Searching either accession number yields the same record above, and the accession number indicated in the record is edsbcc.bcotA000246. I would guess the “correct article” is the above record. Unfortunately, two people who deal with our systems and databases are on vacation this week, but a third may be able to shed more light on the question later today if no one else weighs in.

I’ve never heard of a Faculty Portal IR with ebsco. I’ve tried to find something online and am coming up with zero.

Anyone know what this means?

Hello Amanda,

 

I received the message below from EBSCO and thought it might be from or for BCcampus.  The only additional information I got from them was it was initiated from “Faculty Portal IR”.

 

Apologies, if this isn’t concerning you.

 

 

Regards,

Korinne

Hi, 

 

PID: 32293

SI: 289431

Accession Number:  AN edsbcc.bcotA000246 & AN edsbcc.bcotR000246

 

We recently received a service issue for BC Open Textbook Project as the titles are same with different Accession numbers “AN edsbcc.bcotA000246” & “AN edsbcc.bcotR000246”

 

If you could please let us know what the correct article is, so we can resolve this service issue, we’d appreciate it! Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks,

Dan
