CARLI is offering libraries the opportunity to learn more about the ongoing migration from Voyager to Alma and Primo VE with weekly Open Office Hours. Library staff may join the webinar to ask questions, raise concerns, and hear from CARLI and Ex Libris staff involved in the migration process.

Sessions will occur weekly on Thursdays from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Registration is not necessary. Sessions will be recorded.

Please Note: Because of the requirements of the Big Ten Center, and because lunch will be provided, attendees must register separately for each day. You may attend only Day 1 (Resource Management) or only Day 2 (Fulfillment) or both days, but if you are attending both days, you need to complete a registration for each day. Building security will check the registration list to allow entry, so we will not be able to accommodate last minute replacement of one attendee for another.

If you wish to also attend Day 2 (Fulfillment-Access services), please register for it separately from the CARLI website calendar.
