Jun 18, 2025 10:45 AM - 11:30 AM(America/New_York)
20250618T1045 20250618T1130 America/New_York Adapting and Advancing With Alma Releases, Regardless of Library Size

Staying on top of Alma release notes can be challenging and time-consuming. Is it really possible to remain aware of all the new Alma features and bug fixes available, decide which to adopt, and ensure stakeholders are informed, without spending all of your time doing it? Hear from 4 institutions and 1 consortium about their methods for reviewing and acting upon Alma releases, keeping stakeholders informed, and how well these solutions work for them. Methods range from simple to elaborate, and may also be applicable for managing other products to which your institution subscribes. (Note that this is a different set of panelists than the Primo session on the same topic, so will include a different set of approaches.)
