Films on Demand Imports
Import the new Films on Demand bibliographic records and discontinued titles from the Films on Demand collection, using the Films on Demand import profiles. It is the libraries' responsibility to keep their Films on Demand collection up-to-date in Alma. The Films on Demand collection loads to individual Institution Zones. The Films on Demand Import Profile adds new bibliographic records to the Films on Demand collection. The Films on Demand Deletion Profile deletes discontinued titles from the Films on Demand collection.
