Quick Mohawk Timeline,[object Object],Pre-Evergreen: Mohawk part of ILS Consortium using Sirsi (Unicorn & Webcat),[object Object],2006: Discovered EG,[object Object],2007: Discovered Equinox & Mohawk hired Robert,[object Object],2008: Testing and Experimenting started & continued into 2009,[object Object],In other words – we took lots of time!!,[object Object],Had access to current ILS until March 2010, planned to go live with EG Spring/Summer 2009,[object Object],Went Live July 6, 2009,[object Object], 2009: Contracted with Equinox to build booking module,[object Object],Completed March 2010,[object Object],March 2010:  Mohawk wins 2010 Innovation Achievement Award from Community and Technical College Libraries, Canadian Library Association .,[object Object]
Systems Advice,[object Object],Give yourself time for testing and learning before going live.,[object Object],SQL is your friend – learn it!,[object Object],Don’t be shy about asking Q’s on the EG lists,[object Object],Test server!  Get one, they’re free!,[object Object],Don’t get stressed during the tough times.,[object Object]
Front End Operations & Training,[object Object],Created a wiki to confer with & train circ staff,[object Object],Encouraged staff to train themselves,[object Object],Lots of good basic documentation out there (Sitka & Indianna),[object Object],Not so great documentation for systems & admin (the mailing lists are a necessity),[object Object],The constant refrain: “Do you want EG to work that way because Sirsi worked that way or because that is the way you want it to work?  What would work best?”,[object Object],2 biggest hurdles?,[object Object],Lack of Reserves module ,[object Object],Lack of Booking module,[object Object],Even more casual approach to cataloguing training.,[object Object],They’re Cynthia’s staff, it was (still is) learn on your own, consult her when needed.,[object Object],Lots (and lots) of tweaks after going live,[object Object],Staff did not do as much testing pre-live as we would have liked,[object Object]
In Hindsight,[object Object],Cynthia should have spent a week or two on the circ desk for workflows/special issue identification,[object Object],More specific staff training & testing exercises,[object Object],give ‘em a list & deadlines,[object Object],Staff skills and enthusiasm will surprise you - both in their abundance & their lack thereof ,[object Object],let them in if they’re willing and able ,[object Object],be prepared to do more training than you might think is necessary,[object Object],UPEI method – entire team met every morning during the month before “go live”, they ironed out a lot before they went live.,[object Object]
Would we do it Again?,[object Object],H*ll yes!!,[object Object],Why??,[object Object],Control over our own destiny,[object Object],EG community is great, very helpful & friendly,[object Object],Equinox (and others vendors) are a good alternative ,[object Object],if you don’t have a systems librarian or the time to learn on your own ,[object Object],lots of flexibility, it isn’t an all or nothing proposition,[object Object]
Questions??,[object Object],This presentation is licensed under a ,[object Object],Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 ,[object Object],Canada License.,[object Object],Thanks!,[object Object]
