Thank you for this ideas exchange request.
For the purpose of clarification:
Alma uses (among others) two levels of faceting the bibliographic records: Material type and Resource type.Regarding the Material Type: There are seven different distinct bibliographic material types in Alma, and this corresponds to the seven different distinct bibliographic material types used by the MARC standard. These MARC standards are explained at https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdintro.html under section “Scope of the Bibliographic Format”. Ex Libris will leave these distinct seven formats, and not add or subtract from them. This is because there are seven distinct formats in the MARC standard. For this reason we will not add another format or change the name of an existing format. Each bibliographic record has one bibliographic material type. The Material Type is considered “Music” if the LDR pos. 6 is one of the following: c d i j. This is explained in the Ex…

We have started getting more records for audiobooks recently and have noticed this issue much more. These have LDR pos 6 i "Non-musical sound recording" which is clearly wrong for them to sit under a Material Type "Music" in Alma
I think that this one should be prioritised for change.

Thank you for this idea. We are currently reviewing the option to allow configuration of the "Course information" field.

Agree that this should not really be an enhancement request it should be possible out of the box. The documentation is misleading as it suggests that this data is handled separately - there are separate switches for each. We have just spent a long time switching off different ones to try and remove instructor information from the display only to find out that it's not possible to do that

We have had the same issue as this several times, both for electronic inventory and for print inventory.
Use case for portfolios is exactly as described above - moving groups of portfolios from an eba collection to a different local collection.
Our use case for print inventory was to create a set of Items in order to add notes at Item level from a Title set. We could only do this via a long-winded method of running a normalization rule to add a local field to the titles and then create an Item set using the local field as the query.
We would also like to create a set of inventory from a set using MMSIDs as well as ISBNs which seems as though it should more straight forward as they are unique and should easily map to the portfolios or items.Sally Smith

Dear all,
We are looking into adding the MMS ID for more sets. As the MMS ID identifies a bib record, including it for title sets makes sense - and we are planning to add this option to physical titles sets.
However, regarding physical items sets, the set entity is the item, while the MMS ID is part of the metadata of the bibliographic record - which limits our ability to use it when creating a set of physical items, as it is not an identifier of the item.

Definitely needed - it is a waste of staff time having to deal with this manually in order to get the POL to close.
