FAQ

Which bibliographic and holdings fields are custom indexed in Alma Analytics?

Because not all fields are indexed for Alma Analytics, Ex Libris allows the customer to request additional MARC21 bibliographic and holding fields to be added. In order to keep these fields standard across all CUNY libraries, please ask OLS if you want to add one.

Bibliographic

  • Up to 30 bibliographic fields and/or subfields can be requested
  • They are only available in the Bibliographic Details shared dimension
  • The names can't be customized
