Guide
| Resource Management Training Guide | With this guide, the Unified Library Management System (ULMS) Resource Management Functional Committee seeks to outline competencies for resource management staff working in Alma and related systems. Resource management in Alma covers a range of processes and overlaps with other functional areas. This guide aims to organize these processes, best practices, and policies in an outline to which resource management staff can refer when addressing institutional training needs. The guide will be a living document and may be updated based on the consortium’s needs. |
