Advice from Alma institutions regarding authority control

  • 1.  Advice from Alma institutions regarding authority control

    Posted Mar 03, 2022 11:36 AM
    Good afternoon all, 

    Having recently migrated to Alma we are wading through establishing new workflows, including how to manage authority control. If you are an Alma institution and have thoughts or advice on the following questions, I would value your feedback. 

    • Do you have staff working to review PTC reports and/or other ACTL reports? Do you have an estimate of how much staff effort/time goes into this work? Which reports do you prioritize?
    • Do you use a vended solution (such as Backstage or MARCive)? Which vendor? Do you have an estimate of how much staff effort/time goes into reviewing these reports/this workflow?

    With thanks, 

    Ellen
