titleOversee and manage the Page 1+ Alma Sandbox and the LIT program Alma Sandbox

·       Sandboxes are the Alma/Primo VE test environments. Library staff and OCLS may use these sandboxes for training and experimenting with different configurations or integrations.

titleProvide consultation and support that is unique to the colleges and the shared Page 1+ system.

OCLS is the expert on the Page 1+ consortium, it’s consortial services, and shared data that are embedded in the system (eResource Management, Remote Access, CLEAR, Metadata Management, the Network Zone). With this customized expertise and admin access to the NZ and IZs, OCLS is in a unique position to provide hands-on support to the colleges.

For example:

  • Assist in troubleshooting an issue or a question that requires familiarity with consortial decisions and shared services.

  • Compare system settings and provide examples of what other colleges have done (ex: what language have other colleges used in their letters).

  • Further research and identify issues that can be resolved with OCLS support or a consortial initiative.

  • Formulate questions for Ex Libris.

  • Troubleshoot an issue to determine if the issue is OCLS service-related or is an issue for ExLibris to address.

Out of Scope Activities

  • Escalate a support ticket with Ex Libris.
