Additional GIL Alma Implementation Information
Institutions Complete Phase 1: Migration and Data Cleanup Test
Institutions have passed an important milestone in the project. In preparation for the Alma and Primo (OPAC) test environments, all institutions have completed a variety of training and forms related to Voyager data cleanup and data migration. These forms will be instructions for Ex Libris to use to migrate data from Voyager to Alma. Our institutions will repeat this process during Spring 2017 in preparation for our final cutover in May 2017. Congratulations to the institutions! Our institutions now turn their attention to Phase 2: Configuration. In this configuration phase, each institution will submit a configuration form as well as an external authentication form.

Institutions Working On Voyager to Alma Test Migration
All institutions are currently developing instructions for the project team and vendor to use during the test Voyager to Alma migration. The migration instructions will be submitted by August 19th. To guide the work, all institutional leads are meeting every other week to receive the latest information. The institutions also have access to a documentation center that provides them with a variety of resources including: vanguard findings, implementation team suggestions, and Ex Libris documentation. Between the meetings, the institutional leads can consult with peers or with the project team/vendor via listservs and Basecamp. Progress continues!
