Learning a new LSP can be daunting. Consider using the guidance below to navigate your individual training needs.

1. Identify tasks you do in Sierra and their frequency – how soon after Go-Live will you need to know how to do those tasks in Alma? You may want to discuss with your supervisor.
2. Locate relevant trainings and documentation you may need and organize them by priority level.
3. Set a goal to for yourself to complete the identified trainings. Remember that you don’t need to know everything by June 25 – skills you need less often can be learned after Go-Live.

Other ideas:

• Watch and review materials with colleagues in similar roles
• Allocate time in your calendar every week
• Create a running list of questions

The Master Training Plan is divided in categories based on functional area. You are not expected to complete every item on the spreadsheet or in a particular tab. Video lengths are listed for your convenience. 
Each tab has the following categories, and more as appropriate:

• Basic Training
• Alma Essentials
• Functional Area -specific materials
• Supplementary Learning
• Certifications

Microlearning Videos: OhioLINK has created shorter video tutorials on Alma/Primo topics such as configuring Primo VE, the Alma interface, and Zones. New videos are added regularly.

Top Tasks: OhioLINK LSP Working Groups have created collections of resources about important or frequently-done tasks for their functional area

ExLibris System Components & Terms: This webpage outlines the various elements of the new LSP and how the different zones and products interact with each other.

InfoHub: The InfoHub is a searchable and sortable collection of resources including crowdsourced resources from other OhioLINK institutitions.

Webinars: OhioLINK and the working groups are regularly hosting webinars on a wide variety of Alma/Primo topics and posting the recordings online. 

ExLibris Knowledge Center has a wealth of documentation about Alma and Primo! 

ExLibris Youtube: ExLibris posts recordeded workshops, webinars, and trainings on Youtube. These videos are often longer and more in-depth than what is on the ExLibris website
