Libraries in an institution zone managed by SLSP will be able to find their functional experts at the SLSP headquarters. Later on, a functional expert is to become a type of senior librarian, who can answer questions on the work and workflows in their own institution zone in Alma/Primo. Functional experts are particularly important in libraries that have set up their own so-called “institution zone” for coordinating their day-to-day workflows themselves in cooperation with SLSP. They will become knowledge facilitators in their own institution with respect to the different work areas of a library and their implementation in Alma/Primo. A functional expert learns about the Alma/Primo system from the ground up and in depth. In the current project stage at the SLSP headquarters and the individual vanguard libraries, they will be trained in the Alma/Primo functions and workflows. What, then, is a functional expert? And how does a functional expert differ from the planned specialist or expert groups?įunctional experts hold key positions as points of contact between the Alma/Primo system and staff at the different libraries. Functional experts now play a similarly new role in the new Alma/Primo system. The 1990s saw the emergence of the term “systems librarian” in the library systems of the time.
