Presentation Topic Description
Sometimes, patron data extracts from Student Information Systems won't directly work with the Alma patron data load process and they need a little help. This presentation will go over the Alma patron XML data structure and how I developed Python scripts to create Alma compliant XML with patron data extracts delivered in .plif, .xml, and .csv file types. During this presentation, I will also share the scripts that I developed and demonstrate how to run them in order to produce .zip files for upload to Alma.
