Journal Holdings on WilsonWeb – Dynamic

This free service links your OPAC with your WilsonWeb database, which provides your patrons with information about your library’s holdings. In Search Results, users will see a Library Owns icon next to each record that has an ISSN or ISBN number. By clicking on that icon, the user will be taken outside WilsonWeb into the library’s OPAC system to find out whether or not a publication is in the library’s collection.

WilsonWeb Dynamic Holdings works with almost all OPAC systems, including:

  • DRA

  • Voyager2000

  • Innovative

  • Sirsi

  • Voyager

  • WebPals

How it works:

Dynamic Holdings searches your web-based OPAC system by ISSN or ISBN. Periodically it is necessary to request that your OPAC provider run a fix on your journal holdings data, to make sure that hyphens and numbers are all in a consistent location.

To activate the Dynamic Holdings feature, the library administrator should go to the Wilson Subscriber Administration Module, click the Access button (User Classes in the left toolbar). Next look for the Dynamic Holdings button that will launch the page for entering your data. It is necessary to enter the following information:

  1. OPAC name selected from the dropdown box. Notice that there is some initialization of the system displaying, once the name is selected.

  2. Enter the library’s base OPAC URL search string into the text entry box.

Note: If modifications need to be made to the ISSN Query or the ISBN Query, contact the Technical Support Group.

Please contact Technical Support if you need assistance, or phone 1-800-367-6770
