ABSTRACT

In 2018 Atkins Library at UNC Charlotte became one of the first libraries to complete a migration to Ex Libris’ Alma from OCLC’s WorldShare Management Services. Focusing on bibliographic and holdings data, this article describes the challenges that Atkins staff confronted in moving to the new system. They include efforts to remediate data before the migration, problematic initial data loads, communication issues with Ex Libris’ migration staff, and unsuccessfully migrated serials holdings data. The article will also focus on data clean-up efforts post-migration and offer a summary of the benefits and drawbacks of the migration.

摘要

2018 年，北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校的阿特金斯图书馆成为首批完成从 OCLC 的 WorldShare 管理服务迁移到 Ex Libris' Alma 的图书馆之一。本文侧重于书目和馆藏数据，描述了 Atkins 员工在迁移到新系统时面临的挑战。它们包括在迁移前修复数据的努力、有问题的初始数据加载、与 Ex Libris 迁移人员的通信问题以及未成功迁移的连续出版物馆藏数据。本文还将重点介绍迁移后的数据清理工作，并概述迁移的优缺点。
