Migrating from DRA to SIRSI -need contact for questions
Allison Mays 29 Jan 2002 17:34 UTC
Please post the following:
We'll be migrating from DRA to SIRSI, and I want to hook up with someone
in Acquisitions and Serials who has actually done it and wouldn't mind a
few questions occasionally; I'm interested in what a librarian has to say
about the process. Basically, I want as much information as I can get
before we migrate. Sample questions are: should we close all open orders
and standing orders? Should we transfer serial holdings or start from
scratch? (I think I will anyway because our summary holdings are all
messed up.) How much database cleanup should we do? What do you wish you
had known before the migration? I want to avoid anything that could cause
complications.
I promise not to be a pest and will not give out your name if I summarize
for the listserv. Please forgive cross postings.
