Join us for an in-person two-hour session on the management of electronic resources in Alma. Miiya Holmes, Senior Customer Education Trainer at Ex Libris, presenting remotely, will focus on acquiring and activating electronic resources, as well as claiming and renewing materials. Immediately following the Ex Libris presentation, PASCAL staff will hold an hour-long hands-on working session to address additional questions and put into practice what has been discussed.
Note: This is a preconference event held in conjunction with the 2026 PASCAL Member Conference. Registration for the full conference is separate and is not required to participate in this session.
This session builds on the first two sessions in this series on Acquisitions Infrastructure and Physical Resources Acquisition Ordering, Receiving, and Invoicing.
