Alma Direct Initiative (Daily Updates)

Bringing Content Provider Updates Quicker than ever

The Data Excellence initiative started in 2022 and aims to reduce the turnover time for updating portfolios.

This initiative brings content provider updates to your institution zone less than 48 hours from the time the file is received by Ex Libris.

This page will be updated at the end of each quarter.
