  2. With the implementation of AI Metadata Assistant, a streamlined process for exporting records created in Alma to OCLC would be nice.

    ...and if it could automatically set holdings and loop back to Alma and insert an 035 with the newly assigned OCLC# that would be even nicer.

  3. Metadata update for the “Kohlhammer eLibrary Gesamt” collection.

    The metadata for this Kohlhammer collection is very poor for publications from 2025 onwards:
    Collection ID: 614920000000005630
    MMS ID: 9929441643200041

    Please ask Kohlhammer to update the metadata.
    Thank you in advance.

  4. AI Metadata Assistant

    The AI Metadata Assistant is limited to processing four pages or four files per upload. Enabling batch uploading would better support larger metadata workflows.

  5. Support Storage Location ID in SRU and Barcode API Queries

    Hi,

    Currently, Alma's BIB SRU interface does not support querying by Storage Location ID. This limits our ability to perform targeted searches for items based on their physical storage location, which is a critical need for institutions managing remote or offsite collections.

    We propose the following enhancements to improve Alma's interoperability and search capabilities:

    1. Extend the BIB SRU “q” parameter to support querying by Storage Location ID.

    2. Introduce an ITEM-level SRU endpoint, similar to the existing BIB SRU, that would support more granular item-level searches including by Storage Location ID.

    3. Alternatively or additionally, add Storage Location ID as a searchable…
