Vanguard Institutions Have Completed Test Migration Instructions


The vanguard institutions (Georgia Southern University, University of Georgia, and Valdosta State University) have recently submitted workbooks detailing instructions for a test migration of data from Voyager to Alma. These instructions will be used by GIL and Ex Libris during the test migration which will occur in March. The three institutions spent considerable time completing training and holding working sessions to finish this task. The vanguards now turn their attention to completing configuration workbooks which outline how the test instance of Alma will be configured upon delivery. All institutions will have the opportunity to go through this process later this year (which the vanguard effort will enrich).

Three Institutions Preparing For Data Migration Test


Leads from three institutions, Georgia Southern University, University of Georgia, and Valdosta State University attended a data migration webinar on January 14th. These institutions are members of the project's testing/vanguard phase. The webinar focused on the process by which data from our existing Integrated Library System (Voyager) will be migrated to Alma. Alma, an Ex Libris product, will become our new Library Management System around May 2017. The process and results of this phase will be documented and reviewed for improvements prior to engaging all institutions.
