Alma access for volunteers, interns, and practicum students
When the person has a paid position with the libraries
Some internships are paid positions funded by endowments or other parts of the library budget.
In those cases, the person becomes a paid part or full-time library employee for the duration of their role with the Libraries.
They should added in Alma automatically as long as they are appointed as a part or full-time staff member.
Once they are in Alma, the person’s supervisor can submit a request to add Alma access for them with appropriate roles. See Requesting Alma access and roles for new and continuing library staff
When the person does not have a paid position with the libraries
When the person does not have a paid position with the libraries, but still needs Alma access, they must first be sponsored for a netid and Duke email. After they have a netid and email address, an Alma account can be requested for them.
Step 1: Sponsor the person for a netid and email address. DUL staff should work with Library HR on that process.
Step 2: Once the person has their netid, the sponsor should request Library physical borrowing for them (as well as electronic resources if desired.) See Sponsoring for Library Access | Duke University Libraries
Step 3: Request Alma access for the person with appropriate roles. See Requesting Alma access and roles for new and continuing library staff
