Grima: Sandbox/playground

by Zemkat

This allows you to try out a few grimas on read-only, fake data.

Printable versions of records

• PrintBib It’s hard to print a bib record in Alma. Getting the font size right, reducing clutter, etc. Usually my staff just need a quick print-out to do some manual process, and it is worth exactly 1 second to send it to the printer. Luckily, this grima is that fast :-)
• Hierarchy Similar, but prints holdings and items too.

There are also:

• PrintHolding
• PrintHoldingFromBib XXX
• PrintItem

XML Debug grimas

See the raw xml Alma sends:

• ViewXmlBib
• ViewXmlHolding
• ViewXmlItem
• ViewXmlPortfolio

Local grimas

These are unlikely to be useful to you, but they the kinds of things grima can do with only read-only access. Most grimas are written in order to fix, update, or finish some task, so usually require read-write access.

• MetsForExploreUK
• ShowItemsFromHoldings
• ShowItemsFromHoldingsB

Want to work with your own institutions catalog?

The data is provided by Ex Libris, and is read-only, so you’ll probably prefer to get an API key and check out the public grima server. This will allow you to run more grimas, and on your own data.
