<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:black">What location type should I use for each of the OhioLINK and OPAL ebook locations? Or do I leave those blank?</span></i></b><b><i><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u><u></u></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Every location needs to be mapped to one of your defined location groups (from the Fulfillment tab). In theory, what you map these items to won’t matter all that much, since the P2E conversion
process should convert most (if not all) of these to electronic inventory. These locations were set to be suppressed from discovery anyway, so you could either map them to a non-circulating group … or to your primary group. But eventually, we will need to
identify any of the records remaining after the P2E conversion and resolve those (i.e., delete them and configure them as electronic inventory).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Do I need to choose a location type for the functional locations which moved from Sierra to the form, such as “Work Room” and “Circulation?” I understand these are not Alma locations.<u></u><u></u></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Yes, you need to choose a location type for every location listed on the Locations tab. Those records will indeed be migrated into Alma with those locations and the locations need to be grouped
somehow.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">What location type should I use for our local ebook location?<u></u><u></u></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">I’d suggest using the same one as you do for all the other locations for electronic resources (the OPAL and OhioLINK ones).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">If Circulatable = N, do I need to fill in the rest of the fields to preclude the form from using the default data? If so, what sort of responses should I give?<u></u><u></u></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">That top row (row 7) is not a default circulation policy, as in that if nothing else applies, the top row will be used. Instead, those values are only used to set the default values for the
lower part of the form. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">So what you should do is to fill the top row with your most common settings and in the lower table (starting in row 12) only specify things that differ from the values in row 7. Doing it that
way will save you a significant amount of time in filling out the lower half.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
