After a brief hiatus, LTAF is back for fall 2023/spring 2024 with the theme: "Alma Configuration: Whose are these settings, and what do they do?"
Each session will discuss a portion of fulfillment-related Alma Configuration, including an explanation of any consortial recommendations or requirements.
There will be time each session for Q&A, and as always, the opportunity for libraries to schedule meetings with CARLI staff for individual institution follow-ups.
These sessions will be recorded and posted to the CARLI website.
Please visit each event page on the CARLI Calendar to register for each session(s) you would like to attend.
The connection information will be sent on the Monday before each meeting.
