Description of Advanced Alma Queries and examples of advanced search queries in the NZ to locate shared electronic collections.
Step-by-step guide
- Must use Electronic Collection to locate e-collections in Alma, not All Titles, Electronic Titles or Collection.
Note from Ex Libris about searching Alma NZ:
The way it was explained to me by Ex Libris was that if it states Held By, it is coming from the IZ (if you see My Institution listed then it is available in your library’s IZ). If it is Availability: Electronic Version, it is coming from the NZ. All active e-collections will appear (shared and not shared) in an All Titles search. The coverage date displayed in these records do not reflect what the CSU's date coverage is for that title. For that, a electronic portfolio search would need to be done.
To see the Available For label and what electronic collections your library is sharing in the NZ, then you will need to do an electronic collection or e-portfolio search. The Available For label only displays for electronic portfolios and collections.
