Vendors

IN PROCESS

Migrate FOLIO ERM Organization Contacts and Interfaces to Alma. Already documented as a sub-project of the Alma Integration Project. Update via Vendor API.

Update 8/12/24: Work to migrate these manually is underway to avoid risks using the vendor API.

Zhaneille and Yan have volunteered to work on copying/pasting this data manually rather than wait for developer support especially since the vendor API is tricky/risky.

Orders

Migrate Aleph Order/Subscription Log Notes to Alma Orders. Already documented as a sub-project of the Alma Integration Project. Update via PO line API. Must complete before Aleph goes away since it’s easier to view in Aleph than in the DSC

Orders

IN PROCESS

Update orders that were migrated from Aleph to add order reporting codes, if possible.

  • Two reporting codes are currently defined in Alma and it would be helpful to populate migrated orders with reporting codes. Open orders only or all?

  • Need to query the Aleph Z68 table to gather the order material type and three-digit selector initials from the order library note field and crosswalk those values to the reporting code controlled vocabularies. Update via PO line API.

Update 8/13/24: Virginia Martin is coordinating these updates using Alma sets/jobs to make these updates. Consultating with DUL Monograph Acquisitions and RL about specific mapping from Aleph values using this spreadsheet.

E-resource inventory

Migrate notes on tracked resources in 360 to Alma - we track owning library in a 360 note and that data didn’t migrate to Alma. Could update via PO line API.

Note: Check in with the ERM Imp Team to prioritize this given the complexity of this task.

Orders

Update the PO line owner of migrated open electronic order records from each of the Perkins sublibraries to the new ‘DULERESOURCES’ library, if possible. Investigate whether this is possible to update using the Alma job “Update PO Lines Information - Advanced” which allows updates to PO line owner on a set of orders.

Not high priority, developer resources may not be needed.

Vendors

Change procurement and credit card vendors to remove “material supplier” checkbox since invoices for those vendors should be restricted to credit card payment method. Requires query of Aleph Z70 note field for text “Procurement Vendor”, “Internal,” or “Credit Card Vendor” since that’s how those vendors are categorized in Aleph. Count: 2397 active vendors.

Consider doing this manually. Julie will send a report to Bill Verner.

Link Resolver

Want to put redirect in place for link resolver so we don't have to ever update those again with each provider when they change.

TRLN Discovery

Assess the approach to record numbers in TRLN (preserving Aleph numbers in URLs - URLs for Discovery Systems and Requesting ) to bring consistency to URL structure

Course Reserves

Implement course loading in Alma from central SIS bursar data - necessary to support course enrollment data for copyright clearance

Orders

IN PROCESS

Run job to update PO Line status of the Z16 subscription orders (or delete) that we wanted to prevent from migrating (list of records here). See Chana’s recommendations on Basecamp thread.

Higher priority - can be done via Alma sets/jobs? Bethany offered to work on this

Link Resolver

Want to offer the option of a pre-filled ILL form in the Alma Link Resolver if an electronic resource is not available.
