[opal_migration_leads] Week of 9/2 OPAL Migration Digest

[Heidi Beke-Harrigan]

Good morning!

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

Upcoming Meetings & Due Dates:

  *   OhioLINK/Ex Libris Project Leads Meeting: Electronic Acquisitions - Core Concepts Thursday, September 5 at 1 pm.
  *   There will be no biweekly migration project lead meeting on Friday, September 6.
  *   The next OhioLINK LSP Milestone Update is scheduled for September 10 at 3-4 PM. Please register here<https://oh-tech.webex.com/weblink/register/r31c7250eeb63173541e7e7213dd80732>.


Looking Forward:
*       Our Configuration forms have been finalized and we're waiting on the test environments to open later this month. To prepare for the data testing phase you might want to start compiling a list of the key functions and associated record examples that are critical for the go-live date. Initial configuration changes should prioritize those areas first before moving on to the finetuning of other issues.
*       We recommend working with Sierra from a maintenance perspective over the remaining months and saving extensive changes for Alma.
*       The complete, final data extract will occur in spring 2025 and after that data pull, we will be in a "technical freeze". Days before an institution goes live on Alma, there will be a second pull from Sierra for updated circulation information.

Training:
There are no new training assignments. You can start accessing the new Ex Libris Software Academy<https://librarysoftware.clarivate.com/learn> (certification platform) on September 2.


Have a good week!

Best,
Heidi
