The local SFX instance holdings will be extracted during the Spring Break time period in March, when most libraries will be on break. Ex Libris recommends running SFX extracts during off-peak time periods so I’ve planned to extract local SFX holdings beginning the weekend of March 25th. If I’m unable to finish the exports that weekend, I will continue the exports the weekend of April 1st. Please do not make any changes to SFX KB during the extract weekends. Updates to the KB can continue on the following Monday after the extracts.
Vanguard libraries: I will run a fresh extract from SFX.
Shared Resources: I need to fill out the non-Ex Libris Link Resolver form to indicate which resources are shared. This form includes adding the library name to the merged target the library shares. I will be using the Merged Target list to match up the library to the merged target in the Ex Libris form. The Merged Target list is available: http://tinyurl.com/pra5uzj
Please confirm that the list of merged target is correct and if not, please notify me so I can make the necessary changes to the list and the shared targets in the Chancellor’s instance.
Also, I will be using non-EL Link Resolver form for the non-SFX libraries so I’m going to need the list of targets the library would like shared in the Network Zone in Alma. If your library has not sent a list, please do so by the first of April so I can update the Ex Libris form before the due date.
The CSU Serial Solutions/ProQuest Summon subscription will end in June 2016 and Primo Central and the SFX holdings will replace Summon.
