Pulling It All Together: Using CORAL ERM for Serials Acquisitions Management

Abstract

ABSTRACTIn late 2015, the Serials Unit of the North Carolina State University Libraries Acquisitions & Discovery department began using CORAL as a workflow tool for tracking and processing new orders. While still in a pilot phase, CORAL has proven to be a great improvement on previous tools used to facilitate this work. In their 2016 North Carolina Serials Conference presentation, Hutchins and Minchew reviewed CORAL itself, prior serials new order management workflows and their transition to CORAL, and how the open source electronic resource management system is aiding in the management of the complex sets of steps and individual handoffs involved in serials new orders at North Carolina State University.
