Hi Dolph,

Thanks for the update (and the extension to October 1 for SLO). 

I'd like to clarify this:

  • Instead, what you will load into Alma is actually the usage report from each vendor, not the consolidated reports that 360 / Intota provides.
  • For non-SUSHI vendors, the Alma process will involve more manual work -- you will need to go proactively to the provider site and download the reports for uploading to Alma.

What I think you are saying is that Ex Libris won't be migrating any COUNTER data for us, and that it will the responsibility of each 360 Counter customer to 

  1. configure SUSHI feeds for current and future usage data and
  2. download all of the older usage reports from either 360 Counter or the vendor sites and manually load them into Alma

I understand that this is the cleanest method and will prevent the data duplication issues that we've been concerned about, but I want to clarify that this indeed the case, as we had been told before, more than once, that Ex Libris planned to migrate 3 years of usage data for us, as they did for Ustat customers.  

I want to be absolutely certain I understand this before our WG sends out instructions to the relevant campuses because the proposed method, if I understand it correctly, will represent a very substantial amount of work for these customers.

Thanks!
