Adding Library Control of Business Logic to Alma User and Esploro Researcher Processing

9-10 September: pre-Conference meetings (at the KU Leuven Faculty of Social Science)
11-13 September: IGeLU 2023 Conference + Ex Libris Knowledge Days
14 September: Developers' Day + Ex Libris Knowledge Days + Ex Libris Primo VE Workshops

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

During migration. 5 years ago, Drexel Libraries created an update process for Alma Users and Esploro Researchers together with campus IT. Since then, a need for small fixes surfaced. Coordinating updates with campus IT can take months and some fixes were pressing.
Using Alma's Integration XSL Converter feature, the Libraries took control of the process and business logic. Now incoming the FTP SIS integration profile XML, provided by IT, is transformed into improved XML, more closing fitting the Libraries' evolving needs.
This presentation will discuss how to use Integration XSL Converters and types of changes they can make. The Drexel Libraries have contributed a neutral XSL converter to the community, created at the start of our process. Its goal was to output exactly the same data received from IT -- no changes -- and it was the basis from which we started our transformation process.
