  1. Add a filter to CZ search results for locally activated titles. Switching back and forth on the Institution/Community tabs is no substitute.

  3. Upload Electronic Holdings (Autoload holding list) – the reports do not listed out the deleted titles

    We use the autoload feature to update electronic holdings for specific vendors such as ScienceDirect and Ovid.

    After autoload, we find that the job will list out the no. of portfolios “added”, “updated”, and “deleted” but without the deleted titles listed out at the job report. Whenever a portfolio is deleted, we need to check if the deleted titles are removed correctly? Do we have perpetual access right for the deleted titles and do we need to claim for the access right with the new publisher.

    We use the load portfolios tool in the Electronic service to add/update/delete portfolios for…

  4. ability to add local portfolio to bib directly

    Currently we must go to the alma menu --> add local portfolio and fill out a long form to create a local portfolio.

    The ability to search for a title and add a local portfolio would be much more efficient. Kind of like how we would add an item record.

  5. Display linked import profiles in Electronic Collection view/editor

    It would be helpful if Alma displayed any import profiles set up to create portfolios (or delete) in an electronic collection when viewing/editing that e-collection. This would eliminate the need to go back to the import profiles themselves to verify which collections they work on.

  6. Add "available for" information to "Electronic" tab in search results (All Titles)

    Currently when searching "All Titles" for something, if there are results that are electronic this information shows up in the Electronic tab. However, from this view we have no way of knowing which library has access to what title in our shared environment because this information is set at the collection, service, or portfolio level through the group settings (aka "available for"). If this information was displayed from the search results screen, this would save us time.

  8. portfolio acquisitions

    The Acquisitions tab does not have an indication that there is information on it (dog-eared) like the other tabs. Could this be updated so that this tab accurately reflects when there is additional information on it like the other tabs?
