Network Zone (NZ) Opt-in Scenario #3
These procedures are for the scenario: one vendor - multiple databases (when there is a single cost for several databases i.e. IEEE). SDLC negotiates and pays for a single resource but that resource includes multiple collections in that single price. Examples of this would be IEEE or OmniFile (which includes several full text e-collections at no extra cost) included in one price. Anytime there is a single price but there are multiple resources included in that single price, use this scenario. Chancellor's Office SDLC and the NZ electronic resources administrator will set up the negotiated licenses and license terms for all Opt-in resources. Libraries can use a similar process when ordering the resource from the NZ.
Procedures in Alma for Opt-In e-Resources for both the NZ Admin and Local Instances. Libraries skip to LIBRARY STARTS HERE section.
The following procedures are for Chancellor's Office SDLC and the NZ administrator and the local Alma instances. The Opt-in e-resource is negotiated and activated by SDLC and the NZ administrator. The e-resource is ordered by the library from the NZ and the acquistions data is maintained in the local Alma instance. Steps for both are included but libraries should start with the Member Library section of the procedures. Vendor record policies will be set by the Acquisition Task Force.
- Network Zone (NZ) Opt-in Scenario #3
- Add vendor
- Negotiate the license for the vendor and individual libraries (This is an Acquisitions Task)
- Create Purchase Order without Inventory
- NEXT STEPS AFTER TECHNICAL POL
- Make Resource available (This is an ERM Task)
- Add Libraries to Service Group Settings
SDLC/CO Steps
*See Model 2 for Fund set up. There is a fund set up for the Opt-in resources the CO pays the vendor.
Add vendor
This will be completed by the Chancellor's Office before Go-Live.
Go to Alma Acquisition > Acquisitions Infrastructure > Vendor> Add Vendor
Add a Name and a Code
Check Material Supplier and Access Provider for vendor (use for actual vendor, publisher, or aggregator [EBSCO, JSTOR, ProQuest, etc] for this record for ECC and Opt-in resources in the NZ. One vendor record for each publisher or aggregator.)
Check Licensor and Material Supplier for Opt-in resource in local instances (libraries are ordering the Opt-in databases from the CO so the CO needs to have a vendor record in the IZ, vendor name=SDLC_CO)
Save the Vendor record
Edit the Vendor record to add contact information for SDLC ***START HERE
Negotiate the license for the vendor and individual libraries (This is an Acquisitions Task)
Create negotiated License
Go to Licenses under Acquisitions Infrastructure
Click on Licenses
Choose Manually
Include name of the license
Include License Code -copy from contract agreement
License Type Negotiation
Status is Active
Include start date sometimes pulled from the vendor record. Can leave the date as-is or enter in new date.
License location is Financial Office
License Review Status is Accepted
Licensor –Choose Vendor record
Save the license
Locate license, open license and edit under Actions
Change License Status to Active (if not already active)
Licensing Agent is SDLC/CO -they negotiate on behalf of the CSU (a vendor record will need to be added for SDLC/CO as Licensor)
Add Terms of Use under License Term tab
Add Members to Negotiation Details tab
Go to Negotiation Details tab
Click on Add Member button
Choose library from drop-down in Member option box –click on magnifying glass
Click on radio button next to library name and Select –if wrong library picked after saving, click on little brush icon and this will remove the library
Add Member contact email
Enter in price library pays the CO for the resource (this is the total cost the library pays for the resource)
Enter Renewal Cycle of 1 year
Enter in Start Date
Do this for each library that has opted in to use this resource
After each library and cost has been entered, Save Negotiated License
Now add this license to the database and create Purchase Order Without Inventory. This is an Acquisitions Task.
This is for a vendor with more than one database ordered - i.e. IEEE
Create Purchase Order without Inventory
The Master POL for e-collections where there are more than one database ordered from that vendor in the ECC.
Go to Acquisitions Purchase Order Lines and click on Order Without Inventory –Use Electronic Collection-subscription
Order Heading, Alt Heading and Description should include information about the vendor the CO purchased systemwide (ECC)
Purchase Type Other Service Subscription
PO Line Owner is the Central Office and then Create PO Line (NOTE: write down POL number)
Fill in details for Master POL
Material Supplier -Choose vendor code for list of vendors
Type in price paid for the contract with vendor (this is the amount paid to the vendor by the CO for the resources listed in the Master POL i.e. what is the total amount paid for the Opt-in resources)
Look up Fund for Central Office (i.e. Opt-in or ECC Fund)
Acquisition Method is Purchase at Vendor
Add renewal date for subscription and days for reminder period
Choose Order Now then click on Go
*Remember the POL number to use when ordering e-collection -this is the Master POL
Order e-collection -Technical POL (This is an Acquisitions Task)
Locate e-collection in Repository: FIND Electronic Collection WHERE Electronic Collection Name CONTAINS <database name>
If the collection was migrated from SFX, stay on the INSTITUTION tab.
If the collection is new and was not migrated to Alma, go to the COMMUNITY tab. i.e. New IEEE Xplore POP ALL
Click on Order
Choose Purchase Type -Electronic Collection -Subscription
Click on Create PO Line
Material Supplier -choose the supplier from list of vendor accounts
Choose the appropriate License
Acquisition Method is Technical
Under Additional section -Choose the Associated PO Line and locate the Master POL
Click on Order Now to save changes.
After POL has been ordered, can active the e-resource( see steps below) *Remember this POL number (will be different from the Master POL)
*Repeat for each collection for that vendor, which means ordering each collection and adding the Master POL in the Additional Section of each order record. If there is more than one JSTOR or ProQuest, those e-collections would be ordered and the Master POL added to the Technical POL. JSTOR Arts & Sciences I would have a Technical POL and Arts & Sciences II would also have a Technical POL (ECC example). All of these would go under the umbrella of the Master POL.
NEXT STEPS AFTER TECHNICAL POL
Make Resource available (This is an ERM Task)
*This can be skipped if the e-resource is activated due to the migration from SFX.
Go to the list of Tasks –click on the Task link or the Home Page link to see a list of tasks
Locate the list for Electronic Resource Activation Task -Unassigned
Locate the resource that was just ordered (look for POL #) in this list of Unassigned tasks
Check the box next to the resource, locate Make Available in the drop down box and click on Change Status
Now click on the Assigned to Me tab to locate the Purchase Order to continue editing it
Go to the Actions button and choose Activate (do not need to do for e-collections migrated from SFX Activate option will not appear. Skip to the next section to Test Access under Action buttons)
If you choose Activate All, click on Next and then Activate All
Check Monitor Jobs to see when the Resource has been activated Alma > Under Manage Jobs and Sets
Click on Activate this electronic collection service
Click on Make Service Available
Automatically activate new portfolios (aggregator databases only)
Click Next –do nothing on this screen
Click Next and Activate All if CSU subscribes to complete package, if not, choose Manual Activation and activate titles later with upload file
Add Libraries to Service Group Settings
These steps can be skipped if the resource was migrated from SFX, go to Test Access.
Go to Actions button and Choose Edit Resource
Go to the Additional Information tab
Locate the Services at the bottom and click on Full Text label under Service Type
Click on Service Activation Status = Available if not already set to Available
If this is an aggregator, click on Activate new portfolios = YES
Go to the Group Settings tab from the Electronic Services Editor
Add libraries that are sharing this resource to Group Settings
Click on Add Settings for Group
Locate the Library, Activate the Proxy and if necessary, enter in linking parameters and Save
Keep adding libraries until finished and click on Save
Click on Save again if finished making changes or adding data to Resource Services
Save again if finished making changes or adding data to Resource
Test Access under Actions button - see if journal links to resource
Steps are complete and libraries can order the resource, see section below
Library Orders Resource -- Libraries start here --
Library will ORDER the e-resource after it is has been activated and negotiated license has been attached in the NZ by the CO. The following procedures are one possible way for the library's acquisitions department to order an Opt-in resource from the NZ.
*Highly recommend using similar procedures used by the NZ ER administrator: Master POL and Technical POL
Acquisitions exception -Sharing Electronic Resources in the NZ but not ordered from SDLC:
If your library is sharing a resource in the NZ but did not negotiate for that resource with SDLC, the POL will need to be attached to a provider-neutral record/OCLC record. The electronic full text collection can be shared but the licenses and purchases orders cannot be maintained centrally and will need to be attached to this PNR record. Please DO NOT use the Alma CZ Descriptive Record for that resource (See Catalog recommendations: Provider-Neutral Records & Use of Database-Level Records). Acquisitions Task Force has information for attaching current POLs to records in the NZ: Acq FAQ . Example: EBSCO Art Full Text is a shared resource that 8 libraries are sharing in the NZ. Only two of those libraries negotiated the resource via SDLC. All 8 libraries can continue to share the NZ resource but only 2 of those libraries will have consortial acquisitions attached to the e-collection. The other 6 libraries will need to attach POLs to the OCLC/PNR record in the NZ.
Member Institution (the process is up to the library but the CO must be vendor and material supplier):
Library needs to create a vendor for the CO in their institute before Ordering the e-resource (For CO/SDLC as a vendor, this should be a one-time set-up for libraries.)
Locate the e-collection in the Repository in the NZ (use respository search for the e-collection > e-collection name) and begin Master POL procedures:
Create Purchase Order without Inventory
The Master POL for e-collections where there are more than one database ordered from that vendor in the ECC.
Go to Acquisitions Purchase Order Lines and click on Order Without Inventory –Use Electronic Collection-subscription
Order Heading, Alt Heading and Description should include information about the vendor the CO purchased systemwide (ECC)
Purchase Type Other Service Subscription
PO Line Owner is the Central Office and then Create PO Line (NOTE: write down POL number)
Fill in details for Master POL
Material Supplier -Choose vendor code for list of vendors
The List Price came from the negotiated license in the NZ admin
Choose Fund local to the library (If fund to pay for CO negotiated resources has already been created, go to next step)
Acquisition Method is Purchase at Vendor
Add renewal date for subscription and days for reminder period
Choose Order Now then click on Go
*Remember the POL number to use when ordering e-collection -this is the Master POL
Order e-collection -Technical POL (This is an Acquisitions Task)
Locate e-collection in Repository: FIND Electronic Collection WHERE Electronic Collection Name CONTAINS <database name>
Locate e-collection in the NZ
Click on Order
Choose Purchase Type -Electronic Collection -Subscription
Click on Create PO Line
Material Supplier -choose the supplier from list of vendor accounts
Choose the appropriate License
Acquisition Method is Technical
Under Additional section -Choose the Associated PO Line and locate the Master POL
Click on Order Now to save changes.
Do this for each collection that is included in the subscription.
There will be one Master POL with no inventory attached and each database or collection included in a single subscription will be ordered and attached to the Master POL.
Once all of the Technical POLs have been created, look for the Master POL in Acquisitions > Search for PO Line. Under the Associated PO Lines tab will be all of the Technical PO Lines.
Waiting for Payment Invoices
*This process is up to the local acquisitions department. This is one possible process for libraries.
Locate invoice
Choose Edit under Actions
Choose Paid for Payment Status
Create a voucher number
Save and Continue
Check status of Invoice under Invoice search
Invoiced closes when it is paid (need more information-depends on local configurations but also need more information on payments between libraries and SDLC/CO)
Add Fund
Information about setting up Funds from the Acquisition Task Force. There are some very good examples of setting up Funds in Alma, including creating funds for paying for CO negotiated resources.
