CKB Updates

OVERVIEW

Electronic collections and portfolios are added and updated weekly in the Alma Community Knowledge Base (CKB) and are subsequently available for activation from the CZ. On-going maintenance of local and consortial electronic collections will require both GALILEO and institutions to review Ex Libris’ Weekly CKB Updates. Ex Libris also provides a forum where Community Zone members can request and vote on new resources to be added to the CKB.

LOCAL DOCUMENTATION

Individual libraries may develop procedures that are specific to their institution based on local practice, workflow, and staffing organization. Below are some institution level knowledgebase processing procedures. Keep in mind these procedures are institution specific, so some aspects may not apply to your institution. Also, they may go out of date as Ex Libris modifies Alma.

Don't see a collection or portfolio in the CKB? Search the Content section of the Idea Exchange for your resource. If you find an idea for it, upvote it. If you don't, add it and post it to the idea exchange tracking spreadsheet.
