These procedures are for the scenario: one vendor - one database.  SDLC negotiates for a single database from a vendor.  

Procedures in Alma 

The following procedures are for Chancellor's Office SDLC and the NZ administrator.  The ECC e-resource is ordered and activated by SDLC and the NZ administrator.  There are different procedures for e-resource management and acquisitions for the Electronic Core Collection (ECC).

Vendor Records, Funds and Ledger

Set up Vendor Record for Chancellor's Office (CO) so the Ledger can be attached to it.  CO will be a vendor in the shared acquisitions in the NZ admin instance. (move this note to the Model 3, Opt-in)

ADD vendor -Chancellor's Office is the vendor in this procedure.  

  • In NZ Admin instance, go to Alma Acquisition > Acquisitions Infrastructure > Vendor
  • Add Vendor
  • Add a Name and a Code
  • Check Licensor and Material Supplier (libraries are ordering the ECC databases from the CO so the CO needs to be a vendor for ECC.  Name the vendor record SDLC.)(move this step to Model 3, Opt-in)
  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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, the Chancellor's Office will create the negotiated license to attach to the ECC e-resource in the NZ.  In model three, the Chancellor's Office will need fill in the negotiation details for the licenses.  The license will be attached at the collection level in the NZ.  The library will locate the collection in the NZ and order the collection and create the Purchase Order in the IZ.  The license and price will be copied from the NZ negotiated license.

Managing License Terms
