Mango wil be replaced with Primo VE, “Research Starters” in Mango will be replaced with "About the Topic"

October 2021
All institutions will go live on Alma/Primo VE on Tuesday, July 13, 2021.
In order to successfully transition all data from Aleph to Alma, it will be necessary to pause various system processes and services currently available to library staff and patrons. Below is a timeline that details when these processes and services will be affected. Please be assured that the dates listed were not made arbitrarily, but rather after numerous discussions between FALSC and Ex Libris; both keeping in mind the amount of time needed to successfully convert the data and the desire to allow the least amount of disruption to library services as possible.
March 1, 2021 - May 7, 2021 - Ex Libris Spring Workshops
March 10, 2021 - Functionality Testing Officially Begins
