Opening the Swiss knife : Homemade tools you can reuse in Alma
Conference or Developers' Day
Conference (20 minutes + 5 min Q/A)
Session Abstract
In order to manage efficiently about 120 libraries in Alma, the Swiss Library Network Renouvaud has developed homemade applications for patron management and fulfilment. These applications enable actions in bulk such as waiving fines and fees, patron contact information update, deletion of specific patron accounts, due date update, and fulfilment unit updates for many localisations.
These tools have proven extremely valuable. We used them massively during the semi-lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic in Switzerland.
They are ready to use by any institution with access to Alma APIs. All you have to do is enter your own API key in a text file. Moreover, we are willing to share them as well as the source code with the Alma community.
In this talk, after a short introduction to our network, we will describe these different tools and how you can adapt them for your own Alma instance.
