Oftentimes acquiring or cancelling a resource is more complex in practice than in theory. This poster will showcase what the process actually looks like from start to finish, whether print or electronic in format. In addition to team members within our library’s collection services unit, many other internal and external stakeholders are involved. This poster will seek to demonstrate a tangible depiction of how this all works through Alma, our integrated library system, and Primo, our discovery service.
It would be relevant for any attendees who utilize Alma and Primo, or are in the planning stages. Showing practical steps within our own library’s acquisition’s workflow makes it unique. Hopefully it will engage the audience in thinking about their own methods and communication tactics through visualization utilizing graphics.
