Procedure

Several processes/functions in Alma write files to the Uploads server, some of which are retrieved manually and would require direct access to the /exports subdirectory in the Alma directory in Uploads. Previously, all the processes which wrote to /exports were managed by Systems and Discovery, but now we are in the process of handing off some work, including processes which write to /exports, to specific staff members in the Collections Services Division (CSD).

Item records in Alma provide the basis for a wide range of operations in technical and public services, such as checking things in/out, placing requests, billing, labeling, binding, tracking of in-process materials, and compiling statistics. Every item record in Alma must be attached to a holdings record, which is attached to the bibliographic (bib) record.

This document lists the tabs and fields available within an item record and describes how they're used at Berkeley.

Interim procedures for creating Host Bibliographic Records that continue the status quo of records that were created on migration to Alma in 2021, and are not meant to represent any final decisions regarding Berkeley’s treatment of Host Bibliographic Records. The procedures are meant to provide guidance for catalogers to create records that can be updated in batch, along with the migrated records, as any changes are implemented in their treatment.
