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

Procedures in Alma 

The following procedures are for Chancellor's Office SDLC and the NZ administrator for one vendor with a single database from that vendor.  The ECC e-collection is ordered and activated by SDLC and the NZ administrator.  There are different procedures for e-resource management and acquisitions for the Opt-In e-collections, Model 3.  The ECC e-collections will be ordered from the CZ and maintained in the NZ.  These collections will not appear in the IZ in the local Alma instances and will appear in the NZ as view-only in the local Alma instance.

Vendor Records, Funds and Ledger -For Model 2, must have funds and vendors. 

ADD vendor

  • In NZ Admin instance, go to Alma Acquisition > Acquisitions Infrastructure > Vendor
  • Add Vendor
  • Add a Name and a Code

    • Check Material Supplier and Access Provider for vendor (use actual vendor, publisher, or aggregator [EBSCO, JSTOR, ProQuest, etc] for this record for ECC resources)

    • Check Licensor and Material Supplier for Opt-in resource in local instances (libraries are ordering the Opt-in databases from the CO so the CO needs to be a vendor in the local Alma instance. ECC resources use actual vendor) 

  • Save the Vendor record
  • Edit the Vendor record to add contact information for SDLC.  Add SDLC contact for billing contact and NZ administrator as the technical contact.

Now set up the Ledger record for ECC

  • Set up Ledger for ECC
  • Only need one ledger for ECC and this is a one time step.  Won't create a new ledger after initial ledger is set up.
  • Alma > Acquisitions Infrastructure > Funds and Ledgers
  • Add Ledger
  • Enter Name and Code -locally created but follow recommendations set by the Acquisitions Policies.  Example, do not include YEAR in the name.
  • Save record
  • Locate Ledger just added and click Activate
  • Then click on Edit
  • Add Rules for over expenditure (need more information from SDLC)
  • Save changes

NOW ADD FUND TO LEDGER - Fund is added for the ECC core collection funds used to pay for the resources paid for by the Chancellor's Office.

  • Locate Ledger for ECC
  • Click Edit
  • Click on the Funds tab
  • Click on Add Fund
  • Choose Allocated Fund
  • Add Name and Code (ECC FUND names)
  • Choose Fund Type = General
  • Save the Fund
  • Activate the Fund
  • Save the Fund
  • Edit the Fund
  • Go to Transactions tab
  • Add an Allocated Transaction
  • Enter in amount of ECC fund
  • Save changes
  • Now create license

Licenses

Licenses are necessary for Models 2 and 3 of shared acquisitions.  In Model 2 and 3, the Chancellor's Office will create the negotiated license to attach to the ECC e-resource in the NZ.  In Model 3, the library will locate the Opt-in e-collection in the NZ and order the e-collection and create the Purchase Order in the local Alma instance.  The license and price information will be copied from the NZ negotiated license and appear in the local instance when ordering.

Managing License Terms

  • See Alma documentation for details on how to manage License Terms and add License Terms.  Recommended that user have Acquisitions Manager role to edit License Terms.  The list of recommended license terms can be found in Appendix B.
