Inventory Management Groups: Alma has the ability to centrally manage eResource records in the Network Zone (NZ), allowing for coordinated efforts to access content and update metadata. Access or coverage can be limited to certain institutions through the creation of configurable "inventory management groups". https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/100Managing_Multiple_Institutions_Using_a_Network_Zone/03_Managing_Records_in_Consortia/070Configuring_Distributed_Access_to_Electronic_Resources_from_the_Network_Zone
