For a collated list, please review the Weekly highlights of the Alma and Primo VE project page.

• CARLI Office and Vanguard Libraries:
  • The CARLI Office staff and staff members from the Vanguard libraries attended a 3 day in-person workshop led by Ex Libris trainer Connie Braun.
    • This training will enhance the libraries' ability to continue their data review and make suggestions regarding the Configuration and Migration form data that all I-Share libraries will be completing for the test load.
• All I-Share libraries:
  • Reviewed the spreadsheet the CARLI Office staff uploaded to your library's Box folder to confirm which of your institution's locations represented electronic resources. This task was due June 4.
  • Library staff should have watched the "I-Share Alma and Primo VE Test Migration Project Launch Webinar" listed on the CARLI Alma & Primo VE webpage under the "Alma & Primo VE Resources" section.
• Your library's current tasks:
  • Due July 23, 2019:  Your Alma/Primo VE contact will upload a copy of the locations spreadsheet to Box to map all of your Voyager locations to Alma locations. See the directions for this task, under the heading "July 23 Deadline Instructions".
  • Watch the "P2E" and "Link Resolver" webinars that will be posted during the week of June 10th under the "Alma & Primo VE Resources" section on the CARLI Alma & Primo VE webpage.
  • If your library uses SFX, review the Alma and SFX: Getting ready for migration guide on the CARLI website.
  • CARLI will host weekly Alma/Primo VE Migration Office Hours. Staff at your library can plan to join the call as schedules permit; the sessions will be recorded. Details for each call are listed on the CARLI event calendar.
