ERM Post-Migration Task List

This list is for items that are known to NOT migrate from SFX to Alma and may need to be set up post-migration.  Included is a list of possible tasks Tech Services will have to complete post-migration. The list is similar to the tasks found in SFX.  Also the tasks will help ensure e-resources are functioning correctly in Alma.  Help for each task is available in References column.  The task has a priority of ESSENTIAL, RECOMMENDED or OPTIONAL.  If there are any issues with an e-collection or tech services settings, check ERM Known Issues to see if the issue has been reported to ExL.
