This session will focus on the migration experience from the point of view of PALS, the central support office for the consortium. We will cover topics such as workflow changes, data clean up and migration, our use of the Alma Network Zone, training, managing expectations, testing, and communication. We will also talk about some of the challenges we faced. Our goal is to provide information that will be helpful to those that are in the process of migrating from Aleph to Alma and those that are looking to do so in the future. date: 2019-05-01 full_text_status: restricted pres_type: other event_title: ELUNA 2019 Annual Meeting event_location: Atlanta, GA event_dates: April 29-May 3, 2019 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE citation: Horton, Johnna and Kroon, Dani and Richter, Linda (2019) The Experience of Migrating 50 Libraries from Aleph to Alma.
