10.  VUFIND  Public Beta – Last week of Nov. 2013  Go Live Jan. 2013  Shutdown HIP and LENS  HIP continues My Account/Z39.50/NCIP  Develop and test My Account/Z39.50/NCIP against OLE  Go Live against Kuali OLE July 2014 Public Catalog

11.  Nov. 2013 OLE v. 1.0  Nov-Feb. Data conversions –Bibs, Holdings, Items –Circ patrons, blocks, circ records –Acq funds, open orders, standing and subscriptions, vendors –Serials receipt records –No ERM currently, will start with OLE Integrated Library System

12.  Dec.-Jun. Integrations  Jan.- Apr. Customizations  Jan. Full db running in test in production IT environment  Feb-Mar Performance tuning  Mar. 2014 OLE 1.5  May-June Staff training  July GO LIVE  July-Jan. Set up Reporting  July-Jan. archive/store historical data  Dec. 2014 shut down Horizon/III systems Implementation Schedule

13.  Mansueto Automated Storage Retrieval system  Course Reserve  Comptrollers electronic vouchers  ILL CIC and Borrow Direct so Z39.50 and NCIP  HathiTrust and Google Books Project processing Critical Integrations

14.  Staff on development teams, writing specs, testing  Fit/Gap analysis –Circ has done one round –Cataloging has looked at data conversion –Acq beginning a review/Serials heavily involved in development/testing  Some addons like Print spine labels, print labels for serial issues as checked in  Minimize customizations to keep it supportable  Reporting is very customized now Critical Customizations

15.  MySQL vs. Oracle  Default installation currently has data used in testing and development. Locations, setup from IU, Duke, Chicago  Might have a few hundred Chicago bibs/holdings  Plan to provide an empty db but not there yet, you need some sample data to even play around Local installation

17.  Locations  Level 1INSTITUTIONUC  Level 2 CAMPUS  Level 3LIBRARYJRL, JCL, ASR, etc.  Level 4 COLLECTION  Level 5 SHELVINGGen, Sci, RR4, etc. Local setup

18.  dev2 logon  Patron type, Item type, Location  Circulation Desk mapped to Locations  KRMS rules file has to match above info to work  Scheduled jobs (overdues, notices) Local setup - Deliver

19.  admin logon  Bibs, Instances Holding(s) + Item(s), Einstances  Loading data  Editor Create new bib/holding/item/ Einstance  Import in Describe (1 by 1)  Batch Bib Import in Admin/Batch Profile Admin/Batch Process  Docstore Ingest  S&A Staff Upload (marc + edi files)  Docstore Bulk loader (format documentation being worked on) Local setup - Describe

20.  ole-khuntley logon  Chart of Accounts (etc.)  Various other KFS tables (lots and lots) a challenge  Requisition CREATE Blanket Approve = REQ and PO  Staff Upload (marc + edi) has an xml file with defaults (there will be marc + 9xx loaders for 1.5)  Serials Receiving add to an existing bib/holding  Scheduled jobs Local setup – Select & Acquire

21.  Batch Export Batch Profile, Batch Process, Schedule  Data mapping for exports  Incremental exports including Deletes file  API’s for Availability, also Renew, Request, etc.  Villanova writing a Vufind “OLE Connector”  SRU in 1.0; Z39.50 use IndexData’s Metaproxy  NCIP messaging in 1.0; more NCIP messaging in 1.5 Local setup – Discovery Layer

22.  Added 2 programmers, support for solr/lucene and java for Kuali OLE  Existing staff retrained. Kuali Rice.  Technical Lead, 2 senior programmers, 2 junior programmers, Systems Librarian, Library Systems Analyst  Digital Library Development Center – 2-3 programmers helping with Vufind customization PHP, 1 Web program librarian  Learning and changing How to support it all

23.  Kuali Commercial Affiliates HTC and Vivantech possible contractors  Atlas Systems and Dematic for integration with their systems  Vufind community Kuali OLE community  OLE project support for early implementer library External assistance

24.  Aging technologies, need platform to change as needed in the future. Increase in Eresource use, integration  Frustration with vended solutions, private equity takeovers of library vendors  Control costs  Control choice of enhancements  Open Source is not Do It Yourself, it is Do It Together  Expect continuing change Why do it?

25.  Chicago a good candidate for early implementer –Unusually centralized for a large research library –Large database to test limits of software –Beta testing experience of library staff –Anxious to renew aging legacy systems  Success depends on community –OLE partner contributions of staff expertise as well as money –OLE platform can be shaken down and enhanced as more partners go live –Plan for the future together, linked data, more emphasis on electronic resources –The more the merrier!
