[Wactclc-alma] question from Claire at Shoreline

[Murata, Claire]

Hi all,

I have a couple of questions, and apologies in advance if they are super basic!


  1.  Would it be worth it to set up EDI for payment to Amazon and B&T and Ebsco?
  2.  Is it possible for our librarians to order books directly from Alma?  Right now, our selectors order from Gobi and we have temporarily stopped ordering from Amazon because it's a lot to reconcile the credit card.


My objectives are: librarians easily request books or other resources. Tech services easily updates the budget. Librarians have up-to-date information on the fund budget.

I've read the section on EDI and on Purchase Requests.

Would you point me in the right direction on this? Thanks for considering!
