NZ Pilot Project Update (Liana)

This is a pilot project to see how linking IZ and NZ records works in Alma.

Several colleges have agreed to participate. There will be a kick off meeting for instructions on the project. Then they will have a week to run the jobs and analyze results.

The objective is to figure out how records interact with each other and develop guidance for colleges on how to link IZ to NZ records.

Confederation would also like to participate.
