ALMA/Primo Training: Getting Started

An all-in-one system offered by Ex Libris that covers all library operations: selection, acquisition, metadata management, digitization, and fulfillment. Basically, all the back end operations.

Cost saving: the implementation of Alma will save the CSU system close to $1 million dollars per year.

Consortia capabilities: shared metadata management and centralized e-resource management.
