Aleph v.19

This summer FCLA will begin to migrate the SULs to Aleph version 19. Already available is a draft time line which shows that we will have full test servers available to us by the end of April and the upgrades will begin in July. I will primarily focus on working with FCLA and ITS to ensure that our many automated jobs like the PLIF, CashExport and Banner Export continue to work smoothly. In addition, Nick, Jose and I will ensure that the test client is installed on all of the appropriate computers so that library staff can take a look and see what is new and also run through their workflow to ensure that everything still works. On FCLA's upgrade agenda are some webinars to help library staff transition but we do not expect to see a big change in features with the exception of E-Reserves.
