Managing Libraries from Different Organisations in One Single Alma Institution

Conference
Abstract
This presentation is about the Alma implementation at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (Italy). The Free University of Bozen-Bolzano moved to Alma as early adopter at the beginning of 2013, to Leganto in 2016 and in 2019 joined the Esploro early adopter programme. Since 2013 other libraries of the region migrated to Alma and nowadays libraries from different organizations are managed in one single Alma institution. Joining libraries serve research institutes, museums, schools and departments of the public administration and manage a wide range of materials from manuscripts to electronic resources.
With the goal of reducing cost, bringing economies of scale and keeping the administration of the services simple and efficient it has been decided not to implement a network. Challenges and limitations in the management of user data and workflows within acquisitions and electronic resources management, as well as advantages for the business areas referring to resource management, fulfillment and analytics are discussed.
