The CARLI Office is seeking volunteers to serve on a short-term advisory group to help develop initial workflows and best practices for Acquisitions in Alma. We are interested in documenting workflows for both print and electronic acquisitions in Alma, for both monograph and serial ordering. We have heard anecdotal feedback at training and through support that people are interested in a workflow perspective for Acquisitions, and are hoping volunteers can help us document those in the following areas:
- Manual ordering
- searching and selecting bibs in the Network Zone, Worldcat, and Community Zone
- Automated functionality
- EOD
- EDI
- PDA/DDA workflows
- Other functionality and workflows as time allows
This advisory group will meet once a week from approximately February 24-April 10, but requires a time commitment outside of the meeting time for each member to work on experimenting and documenting their experiences. Meetings will be recorded and available for review each week.
If you are interested in volunteering please send a note to support@carli.illinois.edu<mailto:support@carli.illinois.edu> indicating your availability for an hour meeting during the following times:
- Tuesday Mornings
- Wednesday Mornings
- Wednesday Afternoons
- Friday Mornings
Deadline to Volunteer: February 17.
Notifications: February 19-20.
First meeting: Week of February 24.
