Alma Implementation

• In consultation with other working groups, identify systems that must be integrated by "Go Live," and those that would be beneficial to integrate with the Library Services Platform (LSP), Alma, at a later date.
• Create inventory of system integration needs and develop priorities of what systems will be integrated with Alma via OLS, and what integrations must be supported solely by campuses.
• Develop community environment to help promote best practices for system configuration, customizations, and maintenance.
• Develop and maintain standard system-wide policies and best practices regarding system integrations with Alma and CUNY's single sign-on ("SSO") framework.
• Develop standard system-wide template for Alma staff user accounts. While libraries function differently, there are some common needs for staff account permissions based on requirements that Alma has, in support of a library's unique workflows.
• Research and develop configurations and processes to assist with individual and group-wide systems integration with Alma and other campus or library vendor systems and products.
• Develop processes to test and evaluate new functionality and features in Alma product releases. This will be ongoing, beyond the initial migration to Alma.
• Review needs and options for training related to systems integrations at CUNY, and recommend training plans to the Alma Steering Committee and Alma Training Working Group.
