Erez Shabo, Alma Product Manager at Ex Libris, will present a "Discovery Session" to get feedback from CARLI institutions on Alma authority control functionality in place and in development.

Ex Libris is exploring a hybrid approach to linking authorities, using ID-based linking alongside standard (existing) text-based matching of headings. They also want to explore pain points related to use of the Authority Control Task list, such as challenges in managing repeated headings in the list, workflow efficiency concerns, and other barriers that reduce the use of authority control across the I-Share consortium or in standalone institutions.

The presentation is not tied to a specific data model and is relevant for both Network Zone and Institution Zone use cases. 

Register to receive a meeting link, which will be sent automatically on June 9 around 3:00 p.m. CDT.

Ex Libris is responsible for hosting this event, and the session may be recorded.

These monthly, informal, agenda-free meetings provide a platform for you to talk with other directors about topics on your radar and/or updates from your library. CARLI usually provides updates as well. CARLI rotates the meetings (day of the week, time of day) to accommodate busy calendars. We do our best to avoid conferences, holidays, and other conflicts. Please let me know about times/days that never work for you. If you cannot attend, you may send a representative. We look forward to seeing you all for conversation and updates!

Check your CARLI Governing Directors email for connection information.

The meetings are recorded. The link to the recording will be sent via the CARLI Governing Directors email list as soon as it is available and can be viewed for 30 days after the meeting.
