  2. Retrieve metadata available in MARC-XML also in JSON

    When requesting "bib", all metadata should be available as JSON. Most fields are by now represented as a MARC-XML string, bundled into a field called "anies".

  3. Access host bibliographic record for "bound-with" relationships via API

    Currently if you have two or more bibliographic records in a "bound-with" relationship via the 774 MARC field, the MARC data on the host bibliographic record contains the MMS ID of the child records, but there is no information on the child record to show the relationship. The Alma staff interface and the Primo interface clearly know that the relationship is there, because the holdings of the host bibliographic record are displayed in both interfaces. The information is clearly indexed, therefore, but is currently inaccessible to API users, limiting the ability to write scripts and interfaces that handle this concept.

  4. Enhancing Alma with ERP System Integration for Streamlined Operations

    Alma is a robust library management system, but its potential could be further maximized by integrating ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system functionalities. By incorporating ERP features, Alma could streamline financial management, procurement, and resource allocation across library operations. This integration would not only improve efficiency but also provide a unified platform for managing budgets, tracking expenditures, and optimizing resource allocation. Additionally, an ERP system could enhance reporting capabilities, offering deeper insights into library data that could inform strategic decision-making. This approach would position Alma as a more comprehensive tool, catering to the evolving needs of modern libraries.
