Implementing Acquisitions in Alma Training Series

In Spring 2023, Ex Libris produced a six-webinar training series, Implementing Acquisitions in Alma Training Series, to introduce Alma's acquisitions functionality to users who are new to Alma or new to using acquisitions in the Alma environment. Each hour long webinar provides instruction on how to perform acquisitions tasks in Alma, with some general suggestions about broader workflows. Webinar sessions were presented live and recorded. Recordings are captioned.

The sequence and topics of sessions follows here. Visit the Implementing Acquisitions in Alma Training Series page for access to recordings, presentation slides, supporting documents, and summaries of the questions and answers from chat.
