[Wactclc-alma] [EXT] Re: Acquisitions walk through

[Guidry, Wade]

Thanks, Paula, for getting this conversation started. I'm more than happy to help share the teaching load on this effort.

We can talk on tomorrow's call about how to make this happen.

Subject: [Wactclc-alma] Acquisitions walk through

It has been hinted at during our meetings that people would be interested in an acquisitions walk-through of sorts.
I would be happy to do a zoom where I share my screen and order a book, receive it, and invoice it.

I order my books outside of Alma and enter po and invoice information for budget tracking and statistics. I don't use vendor automated invoicing either.

I am nowhere near as confident with Alma as I was with Voyager. it took me 3 years to understand why there are import profiles on both the resources tab and the acquisitions tab (in Alma). There are many things I still need to figure out. That being said, I think there is some value in demonstrating my hacked-together single library setup.

Small libraries starting out with acquisitions may find it helpful. If you are a library all set up with fancy automation and know the answers to any of the questions that come up, please contribute.

This is not a formal presentation, there are no handouts. I will just stumble through it ad-hoc and we can pause anywhere for questions. I am working on an informal outline to make sure we cover the most critical points. I don't recall much about our implementation/setup but can note any questions for later.

Anyone interested?
