Background
The search box below limits results to Alliance webpages with categories for training and documentation. This is different from the search box at the upper right, which searches both the Alliance website and files stored on the Alliance’s Shared Drive for WordPress.
Results are displayed below the search box, with initial results including all pages with either Documentation or Training categories.
Enter search terms or phrases, and adjust the training resource types and/or categories to filter the results.
Filter Options
These are the options for filtering by training resource type and/or categories.
- Training Resource Types
- Training & Documentation: The default selection will return webpages with either the Documentation or Training categories.
- Documentation: Webpages are primarily text based, but may incorporate screen captures and other images.
- Training: Webpages may include video, audio, recordings, and other resources that demonstrate processes or practices.
- Any Category: These categories provide more options to filter results and are associated with Alliance program areas.

Policy: Single v. Separate Records
Traditional national practice has been to catalog every manifestation of a title on its own bibliographic record (“separate records”). At the current time, separate records are the dominant approach, but single records are accepted as a variant practice.
Policy: Floor Bibliographic Standards
The purpose of a floor standard for bibliographic records is to specify minimum standards for completeness and content designation. Catalogers must ensure that every record adheres to this floor standard and are encouraged to use their judgement to determine whether additional data elements are beneficial.
Policy: Alma Network Zone
This policy sets out principles regarding working in the Network Zone that Alliance members must follow.
Policy: Cataloging at the WorldCat Level
Due to the technical architecture of the Alma NZ, changes must be entered into the WorldCat bibliographic record or they will be lost when the Alma record is overlaid. By cataloging at the WorldCat level, Alliance members improve discoverability for all Alliance Primo users, not just their own users.
Policy: Use of OCLC and Record Identifiers
The presence of OCLC control numbers in bibliographic records makes it possible to match records in Alma when materials are owned by multiple Alliance libraries.
