Description
The University of Central Florida Libraries is undertaking two cataloging projects to improve discovery and access to the Government documents collection.
(1) Bound together reports/volumes of Government documents (bound-withs) pose unique cataloging challenges in discovery and circulation. The UCF Libraries offer best practices for bound-withs using Exlibris Alma and Primo VE with specific cataloging practices and display configurations.
(2) The Collections feature in Alma/Primo allows staff users to create local collections of mixed materials on any topic or subject matter. Utilizing this feature can be an effective tool for Government documents browsing and discovery.
Join the UCF Libraries team as we peel back the layers of cataloging, slice through Alma/Primo configurations, and serve up successful implementations of these projects.
