FSCJ Library Technical Services

An informative guide for library staff

An overview of Alma/Primo

FSCJ has two main sites we use to show what the library owns (both in print/physical format and electronically).

1) Alma is the backend software used to check out materials, add orders from book vendors and donations, view invoices, and add items to the collection. Our Alma site: https://alma-apps.flvc.org/api/alma/fscj (login with your MyFSCJ username and password)

2) Primo is the website that students, faculty, and staff use to search our current catalog, place holds, and renew materials. Any changes made in Alma will be shown in Primo, usually within a few minutes or instantaneously. Our Primo site: https://alma-apps.flvc.org/api/primo/fscj (sign in with your MyFSCJ username and password)

It is important to bookmark these two sites if you will be using them frequently. View this one minute video made by Dawn Washington for how to bookmark the Alma and Primo sites: https://fscj.instructuremedia.com/embed/34cce969-11bc-4be8-8eab-ac8011ff0671Links to an external site.
