[opal_migration_leads] Week of 8/19 OPAL Migration Digest

[Heidi Beke-Harrigan]

Hello,

Here's this week's digest related to the Alma migration -

The recording link<https://ohionet-org.zoom.us/rec/share/ar5KNaMtxjTuVhJtOxOujyssq6FipDj3NCEB-rviniD89pEL6WpO2DzGzRV6Rh-i.IVw72at13qPyZ4PB?pwd=3vE3qxIycbPImYURSMYxl9O-Px-6L7c6> for the August 14 OPAL ILS Migration Conversation has been posted<https://info.opal-libraries.org/alma/migration>.

Upcoming Meetings & Due Dates:

  *   OhioLINK LSP Open Directors Discussion, August 20, 3 -4 pm.
  *   OhioLINK/Ex Libris Project Leads Meeting<https://www.ohiolink.edu/ostaff/ils_implementation/events/ohiolink_lsp_open_directors_discussion_0>: Reading Room and Open Q&A, August 22 at 1 pm.
  *   Biweekly OPAL Migration Project Lead Meeting<https://info.opal-libraries.org/calendar>: Friday, August 23 from 10 - 11 am.
  *   Many of the working groups<https://www.ohiolink.edu/content/library_services_platform_lsp_migration_project> are also meeting this week.



Configuration Forms:

  *   The final version of the Configuration form is due August 23.
  *   If we filled out your draft Configuration form, we're updating your form with the Ex Libris suggested changes (including the Pickup location update below) as the consultants review them and get back to us. In a few instances we're waiting for them to clarify how they would like renewable items that circulate for hours or a day to be handled in Column 45 "Time frame loan renewal allowed length." If you are planning on making edits to your form and resubmitting the final version to Basecamp directly instead, just let us know.
  *   Policies/TOU tab: Column 33: Pickup location - Ex Libris has been suggesting we select "In Institution" or "In Library." However, in cases where you would like your patrons to be able to pick up your items at another institution you can select "At Any Institution" (similar to current Pick-up Anywhere, PUA) for the applicable patron type and requestable item location combinations. The current 3-way configuration where the patron at Institution A who places the request, the item from Institution B that is supplied for the request, and the pickup location at Institution C. PUA will be supported with a different product that is not part of the configuration form.



Training:
There are no new training assignments this week to give everyone time to wrap up the Configuration forms. The Thursday afternoon session will focus on Reading Rooms (not applicable for most OPAL libraries) and an Open Q&A.

You can also review the OL Training and Documentation Working Group Summer 2024 Training Recommendations<https://www.ohiolink.edu/content/training_resources>.


Best,
Heidi
