Hi Alison and Stephanie,
Our library is preparing for the same migration too. Would you also share with me any information? Much appreciated.

Stephanie,
Call me next week and we can talk about it. We didn't migrate our acquisitions data and it really hasn't been that bad.

Subject: [ALCTS-acqnet] Migration to Ex Libris Alma/Primo
Apologies for cross-posting.
Hello,
Our library is currently in the process of migrating from Millennium to Ex Libris Alma/Primo. We are right at the point of filling out migration forms and planning for a data extract. I'm only peripherally involved with acquisitions so I am no expert in this area. It has been suggested to us (not by Ex Libris) that we should not migrate any acquisitions data including order records and vendor data. We will be creating a new fund structure so we aren't concerned about having to manually add that data. However, we are very concerned at the potentially unnecessary burden that manually transferring our other acquisitions data will cause on an already over-burdened staff.
Does anyone have experience with this type of migration? Staff are pretty worried that not migrating this information is going to make this transition much more difficult than it should be . If anyone can confirm that with some anecdotal evidence, we would greatly appreciate it. I'm trying to gather information to support our appeal.
Thank you!
Stephanie Adams
Electronic Resources Librarian
