Each institution will have its own Institution Zone where local holdings will be stored (e.g., barcodes, local notes, etc.). The Community Zone contains resources maintained by Ex Libris that are available to all Alma institutions including the Central Knowledge Base, Community Catalog, and Global Authority Files. Resources/data available in the Community Zone (electronic resource package information and records as well as authority records) can be accessed by any institution that is part of Alma for cataloging purposes and can be pulled into Institution or Network Zones. The Network Zone is unique to consortia and is an area where resources/data are shared among PASCAL libraries together and where bibliographic data will be stored.
