Aleph is old and everything but with vufind facing the public, we might keep aleph for another decade.

Because we are migrating our data today, I have given answers about our current system. With Alma, we will be going through another library for support. However I joined the email list when I knew this was going forward, and I see people complaining about the timeliness of support. My favorite person at Ex Libris support told me she also works with Alma, but I will no longer have direct access. And Alma doesn't meet some of the needs because we are a membership library, and give more personalized attention to our members, which the new system will make more difficult. Staff here weren't consulted about the change.

[...] is in the process of migrating to Alma from Aleph. Go live will be July 2019.
We are going from "classic primo" to Primo VE so this is also a new implementation, but a change of systems on the backend.
The contract is very vanilla, and does not include any enhancements to the product.

Wir sind Teilnehmer eines nationalen Konsortialprojekts das sich für den zukünftigen Betrieb mit Alma / Primo entschieden hat. Bei individueller Evaluation wären wir bei EBSCO-Discovery geblieben, und hätten auch Open Source Systeme evaluiert.

We are going through ALMA training currently it is well organized and also supported by a [...] support team which is our first resource, no the ALMA team. I feel the ALMA trainers are too deep into the intricacies of the system to explain it to the user and the trainers are not the best presenters on webinars.
[...] is doing something called the "guided path " which is helping many of the smaller campuses, such as ours, get this done for a basic implementation. Honestly we do not need all the features of ALMA but I am looking forward to having an updated system that does not require we install a client on our PC's as that can be an issue with IT support.

Member of [...] Library Consortium with centrally managed catalog; small number of specialized physical items and do not use the catalog for electronic resources; decisions about migration would be made with consortium; name of library has changed to "[...] ".

The ILS is not user-friendly. The interface feels outdated. Finding information about students who have a history of turning in things late or have fines on their accounts is difficult. It should allow customizable options for library needs since one size doesn't fit all for ILS. The lack of training and direct customer support does not coincide in today's world of modernization of communication lines (no text messaging, Twitter support, chat with support team, etc.). Being able to use the ILS in mobile devices would be useful. This ILS also doesn't seem to align very well with a college community servicing multiple campuses since we cannot communicate with one another through the ILS. Waivers should have more than just a comment box, but rather something else that helps to ID the individual who made the waiver, campus they are from, date/time, etc.
