Library Orders Resource -- Libraries start here --
Library will ORDER the e-resource after it is has been activated and negotiated license has been attached in the NZ by the CO. The following procedures are one possible way for the library's acquisitions department to order an Opt-in resource from the NZ.
Acquisitions exception -Sharing Electronic Resources in the NZ but not ordered from SDLC:
If your library is sharing a resource in the NZ but did not negotiate for that resource with SDLC, the POL will need to be attached to a provider-neutral record/OCLC record. The electronic full text collection can be shared but the licenses and purchases orders cannot be maintained centrally and will need to be attached to this PNR record. Please DO NOT use the Alma CZ Descriptive Record for that resource (See Catalog recommendations: Provider-Neutral Records & Use of Database-Level Records). Acquisitions Task Force has information for attaching current POLs to records in the NZ: Acq FAQ . Example: EBSCO Art Full Text is a shared resource that 8 libraries are sharing in the NZ. Only two of those libraries negotiated the resource via SDLC. All 8 libraries can continue to share the NZ resource but only 2 of those libraries will have consortial acquisitions attached to the e-collection. The other 6 libraries will need to attach POLs to the OCLC/PNR record in the NZ.
