Conclusion • Notes for e-products that existed in SFX and Verde will migrate, but will require cleanup in Alma • Notes for locally created Standalones and Packages , that do not have a corresponding SFX entry, will not migrate; notes will have be added manually to Alma • Access info – will all migrate to the interface in Alma, in the Notes Tab. Easily cleaned by deleting the interface and remaking it. • Vendor Contacts – will require some cleanup in Alma after migration • Admin info – will migrate if it has a vendor record in Verde. Highly recommended that you request an admin extract from Ex Libris. • License info – will migrate with their attachments and links, but the License terms will require cleanup and filling out. Backup before migration essential.
