[Poster] How to format and load user records from a separate campus system into Alma
Event part
Conference
Abstract
The University of Nevada Las Vegas Libraries worked closely with the university campus IT department to get access to student (undergraduate and graduate) information from the student information system as well as access to faculty and staff information from the Workday system. The goal of this project was to provide more accurate user record information, which could then be formatted and synced with the Alma system. Previously, employee records were manually created and students were only identified as undergraduate students regardless of matriculation status. The new student user record load process went into effect after UNLV went live on Alma in December 2017 and the faculty and staff user record load process was finalized and implemented in March 2020. This poster will cover how we output the data from the campus data sources, massage it into XML format using PowerShell scripts and then automatically load the user records into Alma.
