Note that the best practice for searching call numbers with diacritics in the Browse Shelf Listing is to search until the letter with diacritics. For example, search for "2000/Wü" and not "2000/Wür".
Note: To activate the call_number_diacritics_sort customer parameter, contact Ex Libris support.

May 2025 Metadata Management URM-241208
The General Electronic Service in Get It was built with information from a related record instead of the main bibliographic record. General electronic services are built using data from the context object. When there are related bibliographic records, the context object was sometimes created with the related record's information. As a result, the general electronic service had the related records information - for example, ISBN. This was fixed, and now General Electronic Services in Get It use the main record's data and not the related record's data. Note that as this is a sensitive area, the fix will be gradually deployed to the various Alma instances, to assure safe deployment.

This was fixed. To enable the fix, set the customer parameter "temp_adjust_item_dates_to_local_time_zone" to "true". If needed, run a full inventory indexing and physical item flattening.
May 2025 Physical Resource Management SF: 07752316 URM-237157
In some cases (usually for customers in the Asia/Shanghai time zone), the physical item "Inventory Date" field was indexed with an incorrect date and as a result, the item could not be retrieved by searching the correct date.

May 2025 Physical Resource Management SF: 07634242 URM-236162
