I just purchased access to a licensed database, what do I do now?
Applies to
WorldCat Discovery
WorldShare Collection Manager
Answer
Activate the databases
to search in WorldCat Discovery
This is done through
Service Configuration
> Metasearch Content > Default Databases and Licensed Content
Refer to the
Available collections and database list
to see if your database is available through OCLC and which tab you will find it under
Note: It is not recommended that you toggle
Treat as Held
to on.
Take this opportunity to look at your
Configured Database Groups
and add the new database to your searching.
Add the Knowledge Base Collection in Collection Manager
Through
Metadata > Collection Manager
search for the collection with
My Selected Collections
unchecked
Click
Select
on the relevant collection
Check if you need to configure Provider Settings
Note that it can take up to 48 hours for indexing to complete so you can access the links.
