Quick Summary

Begin your preparations now if you are a MNPALS partner migrating from Aleph to Alma in January 2019. 

Body

Minitex and our MNPALS partners are preparing for the migration from Aleph to Alma with a go-live date of January 29th. As we wind down our operations in Aleph over the next six months, it is a good time to look at our open ILL records in the message file in Aleph, and update the status of many of them to closed.  

On the lending side of the message file, please look at these status categories. Complete and close the ones you can:

  • New
  • New and printed
  • Answer Will supply
  • Return
  • Overdue

On the borrowing side of the message file look at these status categories. Complete and close the ones you can:

  •  Sent to supplier
  •  Shipped
  •  Returned by library, 
  •  Overdue
  •  Lost 

I will be happy to assist you with any questions during this time, please contact me, or message me via Aleph.

I am also conducting several site visits with our participating libraries this summer, if you are interested in having Minitex Resource Sharing staff come to your library, please let me know.
