Bibliographic record and physical inventory retention in Alma
"Bibliographic record Retention" allows libraries to prevent the deletion of a bibliographic record. These features are of particular importance for libraries with collaborative collections, as well as for libraries desiring to make sure that important records such as rare materials, faculty publications, donations and other important records do not accidentally get removed from the catalog. During this session we will discuss and show live current features as well as additional plans in the 2024 roadmap. This session will be delivered by Yoel Kortick |

Data Visualization Dashboards for Physical Books Retention and Physical Books Deselection
This session will be delivered by Yoel Kortick and Raphael Gabbay.
The Physical Books Retention and Physical Books Deselection data visualization dashboards are now available under the Alma > Inventory folder. These dashboards provide collection managers with insights on the uniqueness and redundancy of the physical book items in the institution. The dashboards display visualizations of physical book data according to different cross-sections such as classifications, libraries, and marked for retention. In addition, there are tabular reports for in-depth analysis.
During this session we will do an in depth analysis of these dashboards and show how they can be used to control inventory retention.

Negotiations, Transformative Agreements and Open Access Today, most institutions manage their negotiations and record their Transformative Agreements with their publishers outside the library and hold minimal number of evidence which can/should assist them to understand their expenditures and impact on the researchers/publishers. Helping institutions record their Transformative Agreements, Article Processing Charges details and costs as well as recording the number of tokens which the institution received from the publisher as part of the agreement, will assist institutions to manage their Open Access process and better prepare for the next negotiations with the publisher.
