•  New e-Resource Acquisition:  
  • Recommended Ordering Procedure:   
    • Check to see if the e-resource is already ordered or activated in the IZ.  Helpful Alma Repository Search Queries
    • Check the NZ to see if the e-resource is available from the CO as an Opt-in or ECC 
    • If the new e-resource is not an Opt-in or ECC, order in the Community Zone (CZ).  
    • If no e-collection exists in CZ, create a Local Electronic Collection in the IZ
      • Order on the Local Collection
      • Search NZ for corresponding bibliographic record(s)
      • If no bibliographic record(s) exists in NZ, import bibliographic record to IZ and share with network
      • Link local inventory (electronic collection and/or portfolios) to corresponding bibliographic record(s) in the NZ
    • License and payment are at the individual Institution level
      
      
• If the Local Electronic Collection later becomes available in the CZ, link the local collection to the CZ.  

• If a library has a subscription outside of the ECC or an Opt-in subscription from the same vendor for the same e-resource but with different portfolios, share the e-resource in the NZ and activate the same e-resource in the IZ.  
  • The IZ e-resource would only include those portfolios subscribed to outside of the SDLC negotiated subscription.  The same e-resource would be active in both the NZ and IZ but with different portfolios.
    • An example would be if a library subscribes to the central Opt-in e-resource, Sage Premier 2014, but has a locally negotiated package with the vendor for portfolios not included in the centrally negotiated title list.  The portfolios negotiated outside of the central subscription would be activated in the IZ.
• Use list of titles supplied by the vendor, manually activate, or upload an excel spreadsheet to create file for import into Alma to activate and update portfolios included in the subscription. 
  • Only need title list if subscription is a partial list of what is available from the vendor for the specific selective package in Alma (e.g. Ovid Journals, Highwire Press, Allen Press, etc.).
