Summer of ’23: Time to Clean up Alma Letters!
Session Abstract
When summertime comes to North America you might be looking for projects for you and your library staff. How about giving your Alma letters a review? This presentation will cover why you should take on such a project, how it can improve communication with your patrons and the happiness of your staff, the structure of Alma letters, small and big changes you can make to letters, facilitating testing and review of letters by your staff, and keeping up with new letters and features as Ex Libris adds them in new releases. Letters have changed a lot since the last ELUNA in-person conference and likely since your institution migrated to Alma, so even seasoned letter users will find some tips here.
