The Chancellor's Office will be putting in place a few changes to help aid the transition to Alma and Primo.
SFX
- Will put in place indefinite redirects from SFX to Alma's link resolver for each campus as they go live.
- Will create a permanent alias – link.calstate.edu – which will redirect to Alma's link resolver, if you'd like to give vendors that link instead
- Will shut down the production SFX server after all campuses are live with Alma
- CSU Staff will have continued access to the test SFX server until December 2017 as a reference or to access statistics
- An historical set of SFX statistics for the most-used queries is available as well.
Xerxes
- Will remove Link+ from Xerxes after May 26 (the last day to place requests) for those campuses leaving Link+
- Will put in place redirects from Xerxes' search feature to each campus' Primo instance until June 2018.
- End-users will have continued access to their saved records (for export) until June 2018.
- Old Union Catalog will continue until June 2018.
- Database feature will continue indefinitely.
