Transitioning from Primo via Voyager to Primo via Alma in the University of Wisconsin System

Description
The University of Wisconsin has been using a consortial model to manage our Primo Discovery instance, Search@UW, for the past few years. In 2014-2015 we made the move from using SFX and Voyager (with UB) to Alma. Of course, the Alma implementation process brought with it a number of changes on the Primo side. This session will recount a few of the trials and tribulations of managing Primo as a consortia, but will especially focus on our latest implementation and the issues and changes that were a part of moving the consortia to Primo via Alma. Specific topics we'll address include the move from UB to Alma resource sharing, dealing with specialized resources like archival collections, and the move from the SFX menu to the Alma Uresolver.
