abstract: Sue Julich and Paul Soderdahl (University of Iowa).

In September, 2000 the University of Iowa Libraries migrated from NOTIS and its satellite products to the Ex Libris suite of products. We began with ALEPH and in short order purchased MetaLib, SFX, DigiTool, Verde, and, most recently, PRIMO. From 2000 through mid-2006, ALEPH was viewed as the sun in the solar system of Ex Libris products. The Ex Libris solar system is found in a galaxy known as Libraries IT. In mid-2006 (around the time that Pluto lost its designation as a planet), the Univ. Libraries reorganized and consolidated both staff and function of IT support. As a result, ALEPH was re-designated from sun to planet. In this session, we will discuss the IT reorganization at the University of Iowa Libraries and talk about the impact on support for ALEPH and
other Ex Libris products.
