Conference

Resource management in Alma is a complex and intricate matter. Ex Libris offers a generic module that addresses most of the needs and requirements of their customers. Yet, some of them have very specific needs that are not included in Alma.

At the Renouvaud Swiss library network, we want our librarians to remain in the Alma environment as much as possible and limit the amount of platforms they work on. At the same time, we need complex functionalities that are not present in Alma and exceed the capabilities of cloud apps. Therefore, we have decided to have browser extensions developed.

In this talk, we will present two browser extensions that demonstrate this approach. The first one manages call numbers. The second one manages access points in bibliographic records and the links to authority records.
