Implementation of Book Acquisitions and Cataloging in a Shared Environment: Alma Integration with GOBI and OCLC EditYaWangauthorCalifornia State University (CSU) 23 campuses went live with a consortium Alma implementation with a Network Zone in June 2017. In this presentation, San Francisco State University library will discuss our workflow for book acquisitions and cataloging as a consortial member. We use GOBI API to place firm orders for print and electronic books. Autoship approval plan books and DDA eBooks are delivered based on the library’s GOBI profile. We will share our GOBI technical specifications and OCLC WorldShare Collection Manager (WCM) settings. Alma import profiles and configurations will be discussed as well as how we streamlined the book management process. We hope that other libraries can learn from our lessons and benefit from our experiences in a shared library management system.General Topics2018-05-04Conference or Workshop Item
