- Primo Migration Plans
Allan reported on the overall strategy for the Primo migration and the need to coordinate priorities with appropriate staff members.
Bill provided more detail as he mapped out the steps to perform on the morning of Wednesday, September 2, 2009.
A concern about the removal of "Your Library Account" from Circulation was noted and discussed.
ACTION: Bill will ask Alex to create an information page for the Library Account link, which will serve as a pointer to get to the information the patron expects, and also educate the patron on these features in Primo.
ACTION: Bill will investigate how to link patrons to the location in Primo that is comparable in Trellis under the "Your Library Account" link, and will consult with Alison Hitchens to consider an SI (Support Incident).
ACTION: Chris or Charles will compose an e-mail to the ELUNA listserv for advice.
Once these main steps are complete a significant clean up of the web site becomes an issue. The word TRELLIS, as text and not a link (TRELLIS links will be updated with Primo links), will be replaced with the word Primo. If the phrase TRELLIS catalogue, TRELLIS catalog, or TRELLIS, the online catalog is used then the text requires a closer review. Primo is more than a library catalogue.
ACTION: Bill will identify and provide direction to WebOps members regarding this maintenance.
