• Be able to explain how the small claims process affects library patrons and communities

Alma/Primo VE Updates

Combined Institution and Network Search

CARLI is planning to implement an Alma search feature that allows you to see shared Network resources in an institution zone search. The Combining Institution and Network Zone Search Results feature helps library staff find network-shared electronic resources, such as the CARLI Ebook Program and Open Access Resources, in their institution zone searches with a simple change of a filter. CARLI staff believes that this functionality will benefit all institutions, and we will request that Ex Libris add this function for all libraries on or after August 1, 2022.

Details on how to use this filter are posted on the Combined Institution and Network Search Results page. For libraries interested in previewing this functionality, the feature is currently active in the premium sandbox for University of Illinois Chicago.

Inventory Tools Available

As announced June 30, CARLI has set up two different external inventory tools that work with Alma via API. These are alternatives to the built-in Alma Shelf Report. The tools are hosted centrally by CARLI for all I-Share institutions, and CARLI staff have completed some limited testing to ensure basic functionality. The two tools are:

1. The Alma Batch Inventory Tool, for which you scan barcodes into an Excel file and then upload the file to the tool. To access the tool, go to https://alma-inventory-batch.carli.illinois.edu/ and select your institution.
2. The Alma Interactive Inventory Scanning Tool, for which you scan barcodes into the tool individually as you work (although you also can upload a .csv file). To access the tool, go to the following URL, https://alma-inventory-interactive.carli.illinois.edu/ and select your institution.

Return of "Let’s Talk about Fulfillment" and Tech Services Q&A

Starting in September the "Let’s talk about Fulfillment (I Mean Alma, not Life’s Purpose)" sessions will return, so watch your inboxes for more information. Most of the sessions will start with a topical focus before being open to more general Q&A.

Also coming soon is the continuation of the Tech Services Q&A sessions, watch your inbox for more information on scheduling and topics.

Please feel free to email CARLI Support with any topics you would like to see discussed at these events!

August marks the first Feature Release for Alma and Primo VE since Ex Libris moved from monthly feature and bug fix releases to monthly bug fixes and quarterly feature releases. 

You can preview the updates in the Sandboxes starting August 7 (release notes for Alma and Primo VE will also be available at that time), the update will be in production on August 14.

Premium Sandbox Refresh Scheduled for August 14, 2022

As a reminder the Alma/Primo VE Premium Sandbox (PSB) environment is refreshed twice a year (in February and August). The next scheduled refresh is August 14, 2022. If you currently have any test scenarios set up, be aware that they will need to be reestablished after the refresh.

CARLI Member Librarian, Xiaotian Chen, Published in Taylor & Francis Online

A journal article, submitted by Xiaotian Chen, Electronic Services Librarian from Bradley University, of a study of that aims to find out EBSCO’s content discoverability rate by Ex Libris' Central Discovery Index (CDI), under the circumstance that Ex Libris/ProQuest and EBSCO do not share index data with each other was published in the Taylor & Francis Online's Collection Management articles section.

EIU Booth Library Receives Award

Eastern Illinois University's Booth Library is the 2022 recipient of the Hugh C. Atkinson Memorial Award for Interlibrary Cooperation. The Award recognizes sustained activity and contributions having a lasting impact on librarianship. More information about the project that earned Booth Library this recognition is below.

In 2021, EIU's Booth Library was awarded a grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity's Illinois Broadband READY program. The library received $44,000 to create a digital literacy program for the Southeast region of Illinois. With the grant funds, a digital literacy coordinator was hired to create curricular materials related to digital literacy for all ages—from elementary school students to retirees. With proper feedback, the digital literacy coordinator successfully created a robust curriculum that covered various digital literacy topics. Additionally, a "train-the-trainer" model was implemented, along with vigorous online literacy guides. 

Booth Library partnered with the Charleston Carnegie Public Library, Mattoon Public Library, Effingham Public Library, and the Elizabeth Titus Memorial Library. Additional program partners were the Lake Land College Adult and Alternative Education program, EIU Academy of Lifelong Learning, and Mattoon Community Unit School District 1.

Critical Librarianship Survey

Simone Williams, Assistant Professor and Diversity and Engagement Librarian and Elizabeth Kamper, Assistant Professor, and Information Literacy Librarian at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, invite you to participate in a research study.

The results of this study may be published in research journals or presented at professional conferences. However, the risks as a participant are minimal as your name will not be attached to your responses.

Questions should be directed to Simone Williams or Elizabeth Kamper. For questions about your rights as a research participant, call the SIUE Institutional Review Board at 618-650-3010 or email at irbtraining@siue.edu.
