Reviewed and Revised by ERM CommitteeRevision DateOctober 29, 2019

These procedures are for the scenario: one vendor - one database, when SDLC negotiates for a single database from a vendor  All ERM and Acquisitions work will be completed by the Chancellor's Office.

...

  • Choose Licenses under Acquisitions Infrastructure (under ALMA drop-down menu)
  • Add License > Manually > Next 
    • License Type = LicenseNegotiation
    • Name for license -i.e. AIP
    • Name license code -i.e. 150305  (use Agreement Number from contract). Vendor and Database name used to create Name License Code. 
    • Licensor comes from the Alma vendor record.

Make changes and add start dates and signed dates to Summary tab

  • Add Signed On dates –use information from the vendor agreement
  • Pick available names for Signed by (names from SDLC and vendor.  These names will need to be added after migration.)
  • Pick appropriate vendor record for Licensor *
  • Change License Status to Active
  • Change License Review Status to Accepted
  • Choose License Location > Finance Office
  • Add License Terms -Go to License Terms tab and change settings for each section (add terms from signed contract/agreement)Negotiated licenses are not necessary for NZ ECC: one vendor-one resources scenario but CO will add license terms to be able to display terms of the license in Primo and at the View It link for the portfolios in the NZ tab in the local Alma instance. See wiki page for more details about License Terms.
  • Save these changes

...

Now add this license to the database and create Purchase Order (This is an Acquisitions Task and ER Task)

Go to Repository to search for electronic collection (database name) under Resource Management

  • Click on Alma drop down menu and choose Electronic Collection > Electronic Collection Name OR Keyword
  • Click on Repository search under Resource Management columnClick on Community tab if activating the e-collection for first time
    • If e-collection was migrated from SFX to Alma, stay on the Institution tab in the Network Zone admin
  • Find Electronic Collection > where Electronic Collection Name > contains <name of database>
  • Locate the correct activated database and click on Order link.  
  • An Activate task is created when the collection is ordered, if the collection did not migrate from SFX.  The Activate task will initially appear under Task List.  If the collection migrated from SFX, collection does not need to be activated.
  • Fill in Order details (Remember to write down the POL #)
    • Purchase type = Electronic Collection -Subscription
    • PO Line Owner = Central Office
    • Click on the Create PO Line link *Write down POL #
  • Now Link the POL (Purchase Order Link) to the License 

  • Add in necessary details for POL
    • Choose a License –pick a license (license for ECC is informational, not the negotiated license which is used in the Opt-in resource)
    • Choose Material Supplier –pick a vendor record (record for the actual vendor in the NZ for both ECC and Opt-in but in the local Alma instance, the library will choose CO/SDLC as the vendor for Opt-in resources)
    • Check on e-activation due date – normally the date comes from Vendor record but if you want it to activate immediately, change to 1 day or to the date the resource will be made available for users.
    • Enter in List Price –enter in amount for the resource (this if for the one vendor-one database scenario)
    • Then choose the ECC Fund
    • Click Select
    • IMPORTANT - Click on the FUND button to add the fund
    • Acquisition Method is Purchase at Vendor -Use this, means you will manually order the collection from the vendor instead of an order being send directly to the vendor from Alma.  If this is not used, the order "hangs" and you can't move forward.
    • Choose appropriate reporting code, either Electronic Book or Electronic Serial.  This is good for analytics and for search queries in the repository.
    • Enter in renewal dates
    • Choose Order Now and click on GO *notate the POL #  (Order Now skips the auto-package step.  The orders are packaged together at night after a job runs.  Order Now skips that step, don't have to wait for it to be sent doesn't get stuck in review.)

...
