[opal_migration_leads] Alma "To Do" Reminders

[Joshua A. Springer]

Hi Heidi,

I think that I was able to successfully activate an electronic resource, but the process did not follow what the documentation says it should have.

Hello,

Just a few reminders today since there are a lot of things going on at the same time with the migration right now.

If you opted not to fill out the eResources activation form for the Alma Test Load, we recommend manually activating<https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Knowledge_Articles/How_to_activate_an_Electronic_Collection_from_the_Community_Zone%3F> a few of your locally subscribed collections or titles in Alma so that you have a feel for the process and can confirm if that's still the approach you want to take during final cutover. There's no need to activate everything because this step will need to be repeated for Go Live if you stick with the manual activation process.

The Cataloging and Metadata Working Group (CMWG) is collecting data about local use of MARC fields and sent out a survey<https://osu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6MCpxEBowp> for one person at your institution to complete by Friday November 15, 2024. This survey focuses on only MARC fields that contain local data - in the case of OPAL libraries that will usually just be the 590 field unless you include others as local practice at your institution.

Let us know if you have any questions and have a Happy Halloween!

Heidi
