If your library is unexpectedly closed or the ILL department is experiencing circumstances that require shutting down CSU+ lending or borrowing operations here is how that's done in Alma.

Role required: General Systems Administrator

1. Open the configuration menu and from the dropdown pick the library designated as your resource sharing library. In most cases this will be the Main Library NOT the "Resource Sharing" library.

You can tell which library is your resource sharing library by opening the Library Details and scrolling down to the Resource Sharing Information section. If "Is resource sharing library" is checked, this is the one you want to edit. If it's not, try a different library.

2. If you haven't already, select the Library Details option. Scroll down the screen to Borrowing Setup or Lending Setup (depending on which you want to turn off).

3. Check the box for Temporary Inactive for borrowing or Temporary inactive for lending. If appropriate select a date range for borrowing or lending to remain inactive. If the dates of your inactivity are undetermined leave the date range blank. Save. That's it!


See the Ex Libris Online Help Section Configuring Parameters of a Resource Sharing Library for more description and fuller screenshots of the Library Details section.
