General information:
CSU campuses planning to implement the GobiAPI for YBP in Alma should begin working with their YBP reps asap since changing your current YBP services over to the Alma-GobiAPI process will take a few weeks. Your YBP reps will provide you with a complete list of data to provide and questions to answer before transferring your services, but here are a few things you can prepare:
...
More detailed questions related to YBP tech specs and data mapping will be presented to you once you begin the YBP-to-Alma conversation.
Even if your library does not plan to implement the GobiAPI right away, you need to be talking to your reps to transfer any services you have with them to Alma, so don't wait - send them an email and ask what they need from you.
The CSU SDLC is offering to manage the GobiAPI subscription centrally on a per-campus annual opt-in basis; if subscribing directly with YBP, they are offering the CSUs a group discount of 15% on the GobiAPI subscription through June 2017. Contact Terri Joiner at the SDLC, your YBP sales rep, or one of the Acquisitions Task Force members for pricing specifics. (The SDLC opt-in price is the same discounted price quoted by YBP if subscribing by 6/30/2017, so it seems best to go via SDLC.)
