Alma System

Odds and Ends with Alma

Authority Control

• Working with Authority Records documentation from Ex Libris

• We run three jobs within Alma related to authorities:

  • Authorities - Link Bib Headings

  • Authorities - Preferred Term Correction

  • Update non preferred terms (this job, which updates Primo VE Index with authority changes, often gets skipped if Primo VE is still working on Synchronized Changes from CZ job)
