Sorry, should be: If you plan to implement Release 2005 or higher keep in mind that you loose Aqusition and Serials modules from character based system. (not Release 2006 as I wrote before).

I would also add checking of some authorized functions. The authorization logins ("initials") need some reorganization, too. (Like adding "Save Settings Millennium", or "View/Create/Edit Templates"). The authorizastions would retain most of the funcionality, but some necessary changes have to be done. Pre-setting up logins would be a good idea, too - it's only a few minutes for one, but multiplied by 100 gives a lot of job. (I know, because recently I had to create and set up over 180 Millennium logins). A lot of things depends in Millennium on login settings, preferences and manager controlled options - remember that and personalize Millennium logins as soon as you can - it would really save some nerves - yours and your staff. Prepare the tutorial for self-customization of the modules - a lot of things the users can do by themselves, but expect up to five minutes you'll have to spend over each login to set up the things only you can. If you plan implement Release 2006 or higher keep in mind that you loose Aquisition and Serials modules from character based system. Also check up for any keyword shortcuts - like fast scrolling of records etc. - your staff will keep asking that. Use extended abilities of templates - that's a big help and can be thought over beforehand. Don't expect to have everything in Millennium - some things (like printing whole review file) can be still done only via character based version. To prevent complaining find as much things that you can do in Millennium and can't in character based system as you can and show them to the staff. (Like adding single records to review files by searching for them, not by setting up a Boolean search or working with more than one record at once). That's all that comes to my mind after doing exactly the same in September and October last year. (About 250 staff involved, more or less, in working with ILS).

Subject: [IUG] Millenium Modules


Sinclair is going to be adding the remaining Millennium modules the end of the month-- cataloging, acquisitions, and serials. Anyone have some advice on things you wished you had done beforehand or right after? Any sage advice about the changeover?

Thanks for you help!
