Sailing to Uncharted Territory - Digitool to Alma Digital Migration

Abstract
Over 6 months in 2018-2019, the University of Haifa Library migrated its digital collection from its former digital assets management system (Digitool) into a newly introduced ALMA Digital module.
Our digital collection contains roughly 250,000 digital objects such as photos, documents, music files, video files, etc. in various file formats.
The migration required a thorough planning of both the amount of material to be transferred to Alma Digital, as well as the timing of the process in order to achieve the most efficient project span.
The practical and technical challenges of moving resources and workflows are discussed, with specific reference to the collaboration with ExLibris' Alma Digital team, which was essential to the success of the project.
