[IUG] Consortium -- new members

["Ryan, Ann" <ann dot ryan at aucklandcity dot govt dot nz>]

Hi everyone (particularly consortium libraries)

eLGAR is a consortium of 5 public libraries, and are looking at adding a 6th
library (also public)into the mix.  We are still at the costings/planning
stage for this.

I'm wondering if anyone who has done this recently can give me some
information on roughly how long it takes to migrate a new library into an
existing consortium.

eLGAR (the consortium) migrated to Millennium in the June/July 2005 from a
mix of DRA and Dynix sites. So we have some familiarity with the migration
process -- but are sure that the complex process that we went through must
be a little simpler for a single library joining an established consortium.

I'd particularly like to know:
How long it took to migrate? (from preparation to go live)
What sort of costs were associated for the new library and for the
consortium?
What work was done by III and what work by the consortium?

And, of course, anything else that you think we should know about the whole
process!

Thanks for your help


Ann
