Recommendation
The implementation coordinators recommend the following Target Go-live Date Choice: 27 Jul 2021 for the following reasons: had the highest preference from all IC campuses, and none of the IC campuses indicated this was a "Hard Veto" date.
Background
Ex Libris asked us to confirm a target go-live date for the summer of 2021. In the RFP and contract we specific a timeline that could take us through August 31, 2021, but preliminary consensus is that that would be too late for UCB / UCM, whose fall sessions start earlier. They penciled us in for July 20th (Tues) and we can either confirm that date or suggest a new one.
Previous go-live dates have typically been on a Tuesday, so we’re looking for a Tuesday in July or August, 2021 that would work for campuses.
Aspects to consider
Quarter vs Semester campuses
Final exams for summer sessions
Fiscal turnover?
Going live well before fall in order to get educational materials ready, training, instructions, and work out the kinks in the system.
Public services training
