Off the hook, using webhooks for providing feedback on bibliographic data

9-10 September: pre-Conference meetings (at the KU Leuven Faculty of Social Science)
11-13 September: IGeLU 2023 Conference + Ex Libris Knowledge Days

Except for sessions marked as "Physical session only (no live streaming)", all sessions are accessible to physical and virtual participants.

Data quality and collaborative data improvement is one of the areas with substantial potential for efficiency and quality in a library network environment. The paper showcases the use of Alma webhooks in building a real-time feedback platform for librarians working on catalogue data.
The Austrian Library Network previously performed data analysis and built reporting facilities on a central catalogue data dump. After completing the migration from Aleph to Alma, we focused on establishing a new infrastructure making best use of Alma's integrations to run tests on the bibliographic data. The presentation will explain the basic use-case, the benefit to the users, describe the required infrastructure, implementation strategy and deployment in a containerized environment. Architectural considerations which help keep the data checks extensible and maintainable will be highlighted. Furthermore, some insight in the ups and downs of using Alma webhooks can be expected.
