Overview

OCLS extracted and validated your files and provided your data files to Ex Libris already. Mapping and Migration Forms were created in the validation process based on the data files extracted.

The OCLS approach was to mark ‘Do not migrate’ to any fields that did not have an equivalent in Alma AND only referred to functionality in Symphony. For example, ‘Y’ to display in OPAC or ‘1’ to turn on feature in Symphony. Information without an equivalent mapping to Alma were mapped to a Note field. It is up to the college to decide whether the information is useful to keep as a note. 

Ex Libris has asked you to keep track of changes that you make to the Mapping Forms. Please use the table on your Symphony Data Mapping Form Instructions page to track these changes.

We have prepared Symphony Data Mapping Form Instructions for each college.
