In Depth Trainings

Focused trainings that some staff should consider.

• Alma Essentials

  • Fundamentals of Alma course

  • Select trainings in functional areas can be useful, even when the other trainings are not completed

  • New version (2/2021), but folks who did the Essentials course during the Vanguard or Implementation phases do not need to complete this version as well

    • However, the old metadata editor was used in the Vanguard and Implementation Ex Libris trainings and exercises, so they may not be applicable to the current interface.

• Alma Administrator Certification

• Primo VE Certification

• Alma Analytics

• Resource Sharing

• Alma Libguides

  • Workflows and other information
