# Welcome

Welcome to the WRLC wiki for Alma, Primo, and related software configurations and workflows. Material here is organized much like a physical library. Information in broad subject areas like [centralized Alma configurations](https://alma.wrlc.org/shelves/centralized-policies-and-workflows) are organized in the wiki's [shelves](https://alma.wrlc.org/shelves). Shelves are composed of [books](https://alma.wrlc.org/books) on particular topics like *SCF workflows* for example. Books contain chapters like *training materials* and individual pages contain specific training topics. Use the navigation links in the top menu and the search box to get started!

</details><details id="bkmrk-what-are-some-other-"><summary>What are some other sources of Alma information?</summary>

##### Other sources of information:

This site was created because it can be difficult to find information on [the official Ex Libris Alma Knowledge Base](https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma) - especially information directly pertaining to the way things are configured at the Washington Research Library Consortium.

Other consortia have created similar sites to keep more detailed information about their unique local settings. Those are often more helpful for Alma users, especially academic libraries in a network zone, than the Ex Libris Knowledge Base. Some examples of helpful consortial configuration sites are:

- [SUNY's Office of Library and Information Services](https://sunyolis.libguides.com/lsptraining)
- [Orbis Cascade Systems Documentation](https://www.orbiscascade.org/programs/systems/documentation/)
- [Harvard University's Alma Information](https://harvardwiki.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LibraryStaffDoc/pages/43286707/Alma)

WRLC is a member of the Ex Libris Users of North America (ELUNA) group. As members we have access to their Alma Document Repository as well. A username and password shown below are required to access that information.
