Implementation Steps

  1. The SEO Migration team will meet to discuss the details of migration services with the interested Library Director
  2. Determine onetime costs for the data migration services, licensing and exit services
  3. SEO will provide a fact sheet containing all services and associated annual costs 
  4. Libraries interested in joining the SEO Consortium will supply access to their bibliographic MARC records for review by the SEO Migration team. 
  5. MARC records containing an OCLC # will automatically migrate. Additional numeric fields (ISBN, LCCN, and UPC) will also be considered to achieve to best possible match for the data migration 
  6. Develop an implementation schedule Data collection, data mapping, and system profiling
  7. With the schedule in place, the SEO Trainer will begin coordinating training After ‘Go Live,’ the library will begin circulation for 4-6 weeks before their items are available to the entire consortium
