Disclaimer:

Training included is generally not configuration details. Those can be found in the Project Wiki. Those at your institution who are Alma certified can make configuration changes required. In many cases, crossover training will be required for certain staff. The institution is responsible for identifying those individuals and building appropriate training. The training list put together in this wiki is not a definitive list of all available resources, but we hope it is a list of the main concepts.
