Report Summary | 1) Goals/Issues to Address: Mandatory Lag time publishing new course reserves from Alma to Primo E-reserves Difficulty of determining checkout periods in Alma Reading Lists and Primo Course reserve waitlists/holds Migrating library materials on reserve to come over with temporary AND permanent locations. (Script written by Sarina. Need campuses to test. Possibly CPSLO and Northridge) Automated feed of courses from LMS to Alma. There is a systems task force working on this. Course Reserves Workflow Taking items off Course Reserve at end of term - Primo display–Course Information line – some items this doesn't show up, also some items where it does show up there is a "null" after the course code and name.
Issues not pursued but could if there is enough interest: Recommendation on fees: Since CSUs do not sure course reserves, we did not think we needed to pursue uniform fees. Booking course reserve materials: We did not see the usefulness of this feature, as it could tie up a course reserve item with no guarantee that the “booker” would show up for the item. Instructor-entered reading lists.

Description | Lag time publishing new course reserves from Alma to Primo - Best option is an API developed by San Marcos. Details are in document on the confluence page.
E-reserves
- A separate system needs to be used. See options in document on confluence page.
Difficulty of determining checkout periods in Alma Reading Lists and Primo
- For campuses using multiple checkout periods for course reserves, setting up separate locations for each checkout periods has benefits for staff and patron. Instructions on how to set up are in document on Confluence Page.
Course reserve waitlists/holds
- We could not find a way to do this through Alma as the minimum hold shelf period is 1 day and we would need a hold period less than 1 hour.
Migrating library materials on reserve to come over with temporary AND permanent locations.
Automated feed of courses from LMS to Alma.
