Still new to Alma and Primo VE, we have begun a project to explore the Collection Discovery feature. We aim to promote our wellbeing and leisure print book collections, reduce manual processing of new stock, and apply what we learn to future projects.

Our LibGuide for these collections brings together print, audio- and e-books, film, TV, and games, and links to curated lists on Talis like our Exploring Devon collection. The physical processing for print items involves adding various notes and categorising the item in the relevant Talis list. We are looking to streamline the workflow of ordering, receiving, and processing these items. Using logical sets to create collections and sub-collections is one way we may be able to save staff time.

I will present each stage of the project, sharing the practical steps taken to curate our wellbeing collections within Collection Discovery and discuss any problems or opportunities that arise along the way.
