| |

| |

8 | Vendors: IN PROGRESS | 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. |
| |
9 | 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 |
| |
10 | Orders: IN PROGRESS | Update orders that were migrated from Aleph to add order reporting codes, if possible.
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. |
| |
11 | 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. Update Could update via PO line API. Note: Check in with the ERM Imp Team to prioritize this given the complexity of this task. |
| |
12 | 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. |
| |
13 | Vendors: IN PROGRESS | Change procurement and credit card vendors to remove “material supplier”checkbox 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: 2335 2397 active vendors. Julie provided a list of vendors to Bill Verner. He plans to work with Penny Brown to update these manually rather than risk making updates using the Vendor API. |
| |
14 | Link Resolver | A blog post on the Alma Developer network shared info about another institution has setup link resolver redirect and Virginia Martin suggests we consider looking into this since it could help reduce work for staff in the future if we change resolvers. See https://developers.exlibrisgroup.com/blog/Alma-link-resolver-set-it-and-forget-it/ |
| |
15 | 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 | MADS |
|
16 | Course Reserves IN PROGRESS | Implement course loading in Alma from SIS bursar data - necessary to support course enrollment data for copyright clearance |
| |
17 | Orders IN PROGRESS | 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 |
| |
18 | 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. |
| |
19 | Smith pick-up for Library Staff | We want to offer desk delivery for library staff located at Smith Warehouse. Possibility of using patron delivery configuration. | LSP SG |
|
20 | Integrate ILLiad with Alma | Use one or more available ILLiad plugins and configure ILLiad as a resource sharing partner in Alma to enable more centralized resource sharing | Michael Edwards |
|
21 | Notice enhancement - add netid to hold slip | Having the netID on the holds slip would help staff when converting unfound holds to ILL requests. | Michael Edwards |
|
22 | Automatically load the patron preferred name from identity management | OIT allows patrons to input a preferred first name if different from their legal first name. We’d like to load that preferred first name into Alma so it can be used on notices. | CAST |
|
23 | ILL/Discovery | Move 360Link use of special MCL PubMed link to Summon. Due by 5/31/2025 | Jacquie Samples |
