Linking the DCS to SirsiDynix BLUEcloud

Setting up your DCS integration with SirsiDynix BLUEcloud is simple. 

First, you should review SirsiDynix's guidance on setting up the integration. Please note that you will need to sign in to BLUEcloud central to access these pages:

• Configuring List Builder policies
• Fields: List Builder policy - CLA DCS Settings
• Getting content from the Copyright Licensing Agency's Digital Content Store

You will need to contact SirsiDynix and ensure they are able to support the integration with your reading list. When contacting them you should supply them with you CLA institution code number so that they configure the API on their end. You can find your CLA institution code on the “My Institution” page:

Once in "My Institution" you can see the institution code at the end of the URL.

Please note that this is not the CLA Account number.

Once you are ready to allow SirsiDynix to call the DCS, you will need to grant permission to them accessing your request data in the DCS (in order to auto-populate your reading list with the DCS link, once generated). You can do this again on the “My Institution” page. 

Scroll to the bottom of the “My Institution” page to the “API User Configuration” box. Here you will see a list of all the active third party users of the DCS Course Content URL API. The SirsiDynix user can be found on the 4th tab:

Click on the “Subscribe” button next to [e-mail] to enable SirsiDynix to access your DCS links. You will see a pop up box asking you to acknowledge that you know you are enabling a third party to access this data and that this is subject to the DCS Terms of Use.

Once you have accepted, your connection is complete. The rest of the set up will be within SirsiDynix itself and the call initiated in SirsiDynix.

If at any time you  would like to cease this connection, go back into the “My Institution” page and in the “API User Configuration” box click “Unsubscribe” on any of your subscribed services.
