Abstract

The Tel Aviv University libraries migrated to ALMA in August 2018. The transition was an opportunity for a complete synergy between ALMA and the University's ERP system.

Most of the libraries' acquisition functions were managed using the ERP system, and our set goals were to enhance and improve our work by making the best use of ALMA's capabilities, particularly in merging workflows, deriving analytics, and streamlining our communication channels with our vendors.

We analyzed and examined multiple options along the full spectrum of possible synchronization methods between the systems, ranging from working in the ERP and updating ALMA as a read-only system in that regard, to the complete opposite (ALMA writing all acquisition information), including intermediate options in which some aspects are managed in the ERP while others are controlled through ALMA.

This session will present the examined options' pros and cons, and describe the selected solution and its implementation.
