(URM-319471) Storage Location ID Can Now Be Managed as a Closed List

May 2026 Metadata & Linked Open Data URM-319471

A new option is now available to manage the Storage Location ID field as a controlled list on the physical item. Enabling this feature also provides a configuration screen for maintaining the vocabulary entries. This enhancement is particularly beneficial for libraries that work with remote storage facilities and maintain a large number of Storage Location ID entries on their physical items in Alma.

  • Contact Support to enable this feature.
  • This capability is available for up to 100,000 storage IDs.
  • The <More...> indicator is for informational purposes only and will be updated in a later release when the Item page moves to the NG layout.

The "more" indicator at the bottom of the item editor list.

For more information, see Storage Location ID.

(URM-319073) Update MARC21 Bibliographic Resource Types FOR MAY??

May 2026 Metadata & Linked Open Data  idea exchangeIdea Exchange URM-XXXXXX

This update enhances the Alma MARC21-Based Resource Type classification to improve the accuracy, coverage, and usability of bibliographic resources. Alma determines the resource type automatically based on metadata fields, enabling more precise filtering and reporting. The enhancement introduces additional resource types that were previously unavailable, enriching the classification system.
Impact: Users will benefit from more granular and accurate resource type categorization in Alma, improving search facets, analytics reporting, and overall system functionality.

 

FOR OLH:

You can filter by the new facet for Archieved Materials (Yes/No)

The Advanced Search now contains the index Archieved Materials (Yes/No), which can also be used to create sets, and thereby, records can be filtered as part of a set when applying the Archieved Materials facet.

In order for the filter to apply to existing types, the data must be re-indexed. The next re-indexing is scheduled for the end of June 2026.
