If attendees would like to successfully complete all the guided exercises, they should have all the roles below. We will have a session on creating profiles, which could allow attendees to create roles at the session, if desired.

In addition to the above roles, campuses should have vendors that they can use to order books, e-books, and electronic collections. There will be assistance during the guided exercise session if you haven't set up vendors, but it's highly recommended to have vendors established before attending the in-person training session. See the Related Recordings and Documentation section below for a recording on how to set up vendors.
