In many libraries, managing acquisitions efficiently often includes overcoming challenges that arise from budget, staffing, or technology constraints. This presentation demonstrates how integrating Alma and MarcEdit can make bulk order creation and receiving workflows more efficient. By using MarcEdit, libraries can generate new bibliographic records with Embedded Order Data (EOD) or modify existing records, leveraging Alma's import profiles to automate processes. This workflow reduces manual data entry, expands expenditure tracking to the title-level, and minimizes reliance on costly or unavailable vendor-supplied EOD services. This session offers a scalable strategy for optimizing acquisitions workflows, especially for libraries with large-scale acquisitions, providing attendees with practical, actionable methods to increase efficiency and reduce staff workload through integration and automation.
