Getting Government Documents into the CZ; or How to Herd Cats

Session Information

As part of the leadership for the ExLibris users' group of California, I have been investigating ways for libraries to coordinate with ExLibris to create and maintain e-resource Government Document collections in the Alma Community Zone. There were questions that came out of the regional conference last October about whether a library could be set up in the vendor portal and be entrusted to manage and update a California GovDoc e-resource collection and a Federal GovDoc e-resource collection that libraries could use as a replacement for MARCIVE or CRDP loads. Everyone I've talked to so far has agreed this is a great idea - now if I can only find the right people to catalog the resources and agree to manage the collections once created.
