NZ Collections Available for Testing
All NZ collections are now configured for remote access and testing (including with linking parameters entered as applicable).
For details about your college’s NZ collections, please see your ERMA to Alma Mapping Table.
How to Test and Report Issues
Please use Part 4: Testing Electronic Resources of the Alma and Primo VE Testing Guide to start testing your resources. Part 4 is still under development but there are several aspects of your e-resources can can test now.
To report any issues, please use this Google form:
Alma NZ Collection Issue Reporting form
Form submissions are available in a spreadsheet linked at the top of the form so you can review known issues that have been reported by other colleges. This spreadsheet, along with the ERMA to Alma Mapping Tables, replaces the Electronic Collection Change Report and Known Issues & ERMA Mapping pages in Confluence, which have now been retired.
Please allow some time for OCLS to respond to your request as this is a new reporting system and the team is already working on previously identified issues (see below). The form will initially be used for information gathering as we prepare for next steps.
