Version

1.1.

1

Author

Atlas Systems, Inc.

Description

Searches HathiTrust for borrowing requests through the use of the HathiTrust BibAPI. If available on the request form, the addon will search by the OCLC number (preferred); otherwise, it will check by the ISBN/ISSN. The addon checks HathiTrust for item availability and delivers links if available. In addition, this addon integrates with the DSP to provide fulfillment data.



Be sure to enable this addon for the desired pipelines.

Additionally, in order to make use of the ETAS feature, you will need the following:

  1. A list of your HathiTrust holdings, in CSV or TSV format. HathiTrust has already distributed these lists to participating institutions.

  2. The Atlas HathiTrust OCN Parser available here: http://files.atlas-sys.com/productdownloads/ILLiad/Addons/Utilities/Atlas-HathiTrust-OCN-Parser.zip

Follow the instructions included in that file to process your HathiTrust holdings for inclusion in the DSP addon.

Release Notes

Info

Release notes are available for HathiTrust DSP Addon v1.1.2 and later.

  • v1.1.2:

    • The records returned in the HathiTrust API response are now handled as an object instead of an array to fix an issue where item availability would not be accurately determined for requests processed by the addon.

    • Fixed an issue causing an "attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)" error when zero records were returned in the HathiTrust API response. These transactions will now be properly handled and routed to Awaiting Pipeline Request Review with the note "Unavailable - No search results returned."

    • Fixed an issue where publication type would not be accurately determined for requests processed by the addon.
