How to Create an Alma User Account?

Answer

Alma User Accounts

Alma User Accounts for Library Staff should be requested though the Help Desk. This includes:

  • New accounts for library faculty, staff, and student workers
  • Updates to existing accounts adding or removing roles
  • Removing accounts for faculty, staff, and students who no longer work in the library
Note: With Alma, FLVC no longer supports generic user accounts. Alma user accounts are essentially the same as patron records, but with various Alma roles attached. All library staff, including student workers, are required to have a unique account in the system.

To submit a request to add, modify, or delete user accounts, please use one of the two forms below:

  • Staff User Request Form FLVC015 - Use this form if you are adding, changing, or deleting just one account. It is a PDF file, so you should save the form, fill it out, and then send it to the FLVC Help Desk as an attachment.
  • Worksheet to request Alma User Accounts in bulk - Use this form if you are adding, changing, or deleting multiple accounts. It is an Excel file, so you should save the form, fill it out, and then send it to the FLVC Help Desk as an attachment.

Send the completed form to the FLVC Help Desk at help@flvc.org. To assist you in filling out the form, please refer to the Alma Role and Profiles Document which explains what's included in each role.

If you have any questions, please contact the FLVC Help Desk.
