How to Export a List of Your Eresource Packages in EBSCO Holdings Management
1. Log into EbscoAdmin and go to Holdings Management tab
2. Do a search on packages, no search terms, and "selected" to see all your selected packages
3. Open a Google/Excel spreadsheet
4. For each page of holdings results, highlight all the rows of packages and paste into the spreadsheet, include the row header for the first page of results
- This will show the package names, content type, # titles, # titles selected, whether hidden, etc.
5. After capturing all the packages, you can add a column for "all titles selected?" with the following formula in cells:
- =IF(G2=E2,"yes","no") (where G2 is # titles selected and, E2 is "available titles")
- This will enable you to filter/sort the columns where not all titles are selected, which will inform how you select packages in Alma
- Review list and decide if there are any (e.g. hidden, or have minimal coverage) that you will not add to Eresources activation form
6. Suggestions for additional columns:
- Present on Eresources form? (y/n)
- Type of resource (agg, sel, database)
- Additional notes such as different title on form or other information that will be helpful later in Alma
- Ohiolink resource? (y/n/opt-in)

CSU also shared a Python script that will take an EBSCO Holdings Management title list export and output a package list.
