Kanopy & Chill: Using Alma to Manage Individually Licensed Media
Session Abstract
When George Washington University switched from a PDA model for Kanopy titles to a purchase-only by faculty request model, the entire workflow for the now individually licensed titles had to be reworked, from finding full bibliographic records to end-of-lifecycle management. GWU used Alma features, such as import profiles and normalization rules, to enhance searchability, license clarity, and create easier access points. This session will present the challenges GWU faced, how they were solved, and the practices developed to streamline the workflow for managing individually licensed media titles.
