Target: Choosing to Migrate

[Karen McIntyre <kjmcinty@tenet.edu>]

If you have migrated from one library software system to another I would
like to hear from you.

There was so much response to my post of several weeks ago on what to
look for in such a situation that I am working on an article about
migration.  My personal experience (and the reason I posted about it)
was that there was nothing really helpful available about the things you
run into that are different from the first time you automated your
library.

There are lots of articles that talk about the specs for various
systems--but the choice as you migrate is very different.  If you would
be willing to answer some questions, and to do a little thinking
outloud---I will acknowledge your participation--I will not be earning
any money from this---just hopefully providing a little help to those
beginning this process.

TIA

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart.  Try to love
the questions themselves.  Do not now seek the answers which cannot
be given because you would not be able to live them.  And the point
is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then
gradually without noticing it, live along some distant day into the
answers."                  -- Maria Rilke "Letters to a Young Poet"
