Managing Centrally Negotiated or Purchased E-collections in the Alma Network Zone (NZ)

DESCRIPTION

The California State University, Chancellor’s Office purchases (Electronic Core Collection) or negotiates (Opt-in Collections) for the CSU libraries. The full text, database-only, and open access collections are managed in the Alma Network Zone. There are about 750 collections managed in the NZ. Also, the licenses for these collections are managed in the NZ so libraries can create local purchase orders for the Opt-in collections. Resources are negotiated by a Chancellor’s Office colleague who uses Consortia Manager for renewals.

This webinar discusses the complexity of ensuring that centrally acquired resources are kept up to date in Alma.
