Bringing up Aleph, Metalib and SFX in 13 Months…Don't Try This at Home

Duke University implemented ALEPH, MetaLib, and SFX over a thirteen-month schedule from start to STP. The implementation required integration of these systems with other campus systems including SAP R/3, LDAP, offsite storage (GFA), student systems (PeopleSoft), and the campus portal (uPortal). This presentation will describe the implementation process and highlight the positive and negative aspects of bringing up three Ex Libris systems within a thirteen-month time frame. Version:16.2
