What do we need to know/estimate
Alma timeline
Cost - Cornell to switch to SerSol, additional cost for 2CUL consortial? 2 years? 3 years?
Implementation effort vs. how much effort might this save during Alma implementation
How ready is/will be Alma
Benefits
Allows some amount of standardization of records between 2CUL partners before moving to single LMS
Costs/Risks
$ for licensing Serials Solutions system at Cornell and consortial for 2CUL
Cornell maintains database and ejournal discovery through III ERM. These services would need to be replicated.
Scenarios
ASAP - put Serials Solutions system in place
If Alma available soon? - Go "live" with e-resources before the rest?
If Alma wont be available until ?????
