We will also address the technical aspects of record batch-loading functions in Alma and the overall impact this has on e-book acquisition and record management, such as how to update monthly deleted titles for packages, how to reduce duplicate purchases between packages and how to deal with vendors merging or contract changes. We will also discuss portfolio management of Electronic Collections, record import and normalization rules, query/set management and global editing functions in Alma. date: 2016-05-06 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/vnd.ms-powerpoint language: en identifier: https://beta-documents.el-una.org/id/eprint/1317/1/Chen-E-Book%20Acquistion%20and%20Record%20Management%20in%20Alma%2C%20Easier%20and%20Better%21.pptx identifier: Kim, Misu and Pate, David and Chen, Mingyu and Montgomery, Debbie (2016) E-book Acquisitions and Management in Alma, Easier and Better!
