Alma
Session Description
The University of Wisconsin System implemented Alma in spring 2015 as a consortium, migrating from 15 separate stand-alone Voyager installations. As part of that process we sent our post-migration merged database to MARCIVE for authority control processing and RDA upgrades. This presentation will discuss the highlights of that journey—including the decision making process, project configuration, file management logistics, affected cataloging policy, and lessons learned along the way.
