This week, we kicked off the Alma Café Series with your barista, Julie Brannon, and an overview of the Alma interface. Thank you to all who attended and made this series kickoff successful. If you missed it, you can view the recording on WarpWire (NetID login required) and the slides on Box. The next Alma Café will be on Wednesday November 15 at 9:00. The topic will be "Intro to Acquisitions". Your barista will again be Julie Brannon.
In other project work, we are finalizing migration mappings with our Ex Libris partners. We have exported Courses data from FOLIO and are working on exporting data from the Licenses app this week. Ex Libris ran a small extract of bibliographic data from Aleph so that we could see how LKR data for bound-withs would be imported to Alma so we could think about whether any data clean-up should happen in Aleph or if it would be easier to wait until after our final export is completed. . Alma's "sets" feature is going to be really handy as we look at our data projects post go-live.
The LSP Steering Group also began talking about staff training and putting together a plan to make sure everyone has the training and documentation to learn how to do their work in Alma. We want to make sure everyone is confident with their new workflows before go-live. More to come on the training plan!
Finally, we are beginning the transition from working with the Ex Libris Alma Orientation and Migration teams to the Implementation Team. The Implementation team will work with us on our permission structure, our fulfillment rules, and the integrations.
