Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Alma supports collaborative networks, which are groups of institutions, such as a consortium, that share the management of metadata records, acquisitions, and/or other Alma services, such as fulfillment, resource sharing, vendor information, or administration tables. There are several benefits to centrally managing information for multiple institutions, such as:

• Information can be entered once and then distributed to the member institutions. This saves time and ensures that the information is consistent across all of the institutions.
• Centrally managed information reduces the need for administration work at each institution.
• You gain an additional service group within which services can operate. For instance, you can expose inventory from one institution to all members of your collaborative network
