Ready, Set, Go: Preparing for a Successful ERM Migration

The California State University is a consortium representing 23 campuses that went live on Alma in June 2017. This presentation shares the steps we took for a successful migration of our electronic resources. While the focus is on a consortium that used several different electronic resources management systems, many of the topics covered are also relevant for standalone libraries. We\u27ll provide you with pre- and post-ERM checklists to help navigate the transition from your ILS to Alma. We\u27ll discuss the advantages of having a task force and policies to provide oversight and guidance in decision making. We’ll help you prepare for the P2E List, develop search queries specific to ERM, and we’ll talk about link resolver migration issues, whether SFX, Serials Solutions or others. We’ll touch on what\u27s involved with setting up Google Scholar, Integration Profiles, and General Electronic Services. We\u27ll leave you with lessons learned, practical ideas and action items for your migration

ERM Panel Webinar (CDI Issues)

Are you confused by all those CDI settings? Wondering how choices made in Alma will affect your users? This presentation will highlight CDI best practices for a consortia NZ environment as well as using CDI in individual IZs for collections, ebooks, and streaming videos. Come join members of the CSU ERM community to learn more about ERM and CDI in particular

What we mean when we say semantic: A Consensus statement on the nomenclature of semantic memory

Tulving (1972) characterized semantic memory as a vast repository of meaning that provides a substrate for language and many other cognitive processes. Tulving’s perspective resulted in a paradigm shift in the study of human conceptual knowledge. The study of semantic memory since evolved as a multidisciplinary endeavor advanced by fields with their own entrenched theoretical perspectives and idiosyncratic lexicons (e.g., concept has different connotations in philosophy vs. cognitive psychology). Yet, no uniform nomenclature exists for translating results and aligning theories across disparate fields. Core semantic constructs remain underspecified to an extent that falsifiability and incremental theory-building remain elusive. One consequence of these limitations is that similar arguments about semantic phenomena are continually recycled with no resolution in sight. The aim of this multidisciplinary workgroup (N=53) was to establish consensus definitions for some of the major recurring constructs in semantic research (e.g., concept, amodal, abstract). These efforts yielded a glossary consisting of succinct definitions, agreement and subjective confidence ratings, relevant theoretical background, and principled dissenting views. These core definitions will potentially yield benchmarks for aligning perspectives in semantic research
