Working Documents for the ERM Working Group

This area includes documents or links to documents that will be discussed or used at the ERM Working Group meetings.

 

eResources data review

Databases/packages that have been cataloged in Aleph Full Test Load Phase - Use for P2E review

Linking parameters master list Provides information on how to configure the linking parameters for certain vendors collections for Open Athens. Can also be used by institutions using EZ Proxy if those parameters are entered. ERM is crowdsourcing solutions. As instituitons test a variety of links and you have to add to or adjust the out-of-the-box linking parameters in Alma for Open Athens, add to the master list. 

NZ Collections with linking parameters entered

 

eResource Activation Form New form to use for Cutover submission. This form is blank. Each ILS Coordinator was emailed the  new form pre-populated with the selections they had made for the Full Test Load. 

eResource Activation Form Help Sheet New spreadsheet with additional tab for Databases (e.g., A&I). Each institution already will be provided with this new spreadsheet with their activation selections recorded on it. This copy is for reference only.

Search Community Zone for eresource collections Help Sheet Help sheet refers to the Sandbox, but the same search can be used in the Vanguard Alma instances. 

FALSC NZ ererource activation spreadsheet for CUTOVER. The resources identified in the tabs are those in the statewide funded collection. They will be activated in the Network Zone and do not need to be listed on an institution's eresource activation spreadsheet. SUS in the Available for column indicates the resource is for the state universities. FCS indicates the resource is for the colleges.
