Abstract

In 2017 Charles Sturt University Library migrated from a consortium environment to direct with Ex Libris Alma. Most of the workflows were migrated as is and did not utilise the full functionality and capability of the system. After a steep learning curve and attempting to configure the system as required, we enlisted the help of Ex Libris Professional Services in early 2019 to perform a review and provide recommendations on how the Alma system could be better utilised. This presentation will take you through that journey, the improvements made and how the outcomes put us in a position to quickly adapt to the global pandemic in 2020/2021.
