Background

There are e-resources that are either negotiated and paid-for or just negotiated by the Chancellor's Office Systemwide Digital Library Content (SDLC).  The full text e-resources are maintained by the central office in the Ex Libris application, SFX.  The SFX administrator activates new e-resources and maintains shared full text e-resources in a central SFX instance.  The SFX administrator works with SDLC in selecting the correct name for the e-resource purchased or negotiated from the vendor.  The SFX administrator duties will migrate to the Network Zone(NZ) admin instance in Alma.  The NZ administrator will continue to work with SDLC in activating the correct e-resource in the NZ instance.
