Trans Tech has signed the agreement with ProQuest to participate in the Alma Community with their MARC records. TTP finds it important to stimulate the managing and maintaining of online authorization vocabularies, which ensure secure and streamlined cataloguing workflows.

One of Alma’s greatest assets is its user community. As such, Ex Libris has been working to create more options to allow users to play an active role and collaborate in the Community Zone. An important feature is a framework for contributing to the Community Zone.

This term simply means that the user can add data to this Zone with the purpose of sharing it with the greater Alma community.

The Zone offers users the opportunity to update bibliographic records, add portfolios to collections of the type Free E-Journals, Miscellaneous E‐Journals, Miscellaneous Free E‐Books, and U.S. Government Documents, contribute collections, and contribute General Electronic Services.

Sharing, discussing and working together on bibliographical data and enriching them will increase the quality of the bibliographical records. This input is very valuable to Alma, the publisher and the library community.
