Please Note:  E-Books and Media will have a different policy.  

Best practice recommendations

• Institution (Local Library): These are e-journal collections or databases that the Institution subscribes to directly.  More than one Institution in the CSU may subscribe to a specific collection.

•  New e-Resource Acquisition:  
  • See Acquisitions See Acquisitions Best Practices
  • OR
  • We offer this for discussionRecommended Ordering Procedure:
    • Search and Order on bibliographic record in NZ (please See Acquisitions Best Practices)
    • If no record exists in NZ order on record in CZ
    • If no record exists in CZ import OCLC record, create local collection in IZ
      • Contact the NZ admin to share collection in NZ 
    • Activate Collection for Institution [and associate OCLC bibliographic record if Local Collection]
    • Activate portfolios, services, add any local holdings, notes, proxy, etc.
    • Licensing at the individual Institution level

• If a library has a subscription outside of the ECC or Opt-in subscription from the same vendor for the same e-resource, it is recommended to share the e-resource in the NZ and activate the same e-resource in the Institution Zone (IZ).  Please see “SHARED E-RESOURCES (ECC and Opt-In)-Selection and Activation” for more details.
• Use list of titles supplied by the vendor to create file to import into Alma to activate and update portfolios included in subscription.
  • Only need title list if subscription is a partial list of what is available from the vendor for that specific package.  This would a selective package e-resource. 
• Use Electronic Collection search option in Alma to locate the best matching e-resource title.  Search query help can be found in Helpful Alma Repository Search Queries
• Once the best matching e-resource title has been located, go through procedures (below) for setting up the new e-resource in the IZ.
• Prefer CZ records for full-text e-journal collections when it exists
