SWAN Libraries:
**REVISED START DATE**
**PLEASE REVIEW ATTACHED MEMO**
All SWAN library cataloging activity for technical services staff will be suspended starting *Wednesday April 1 at 9:00PM* through Monday April 13. Cataloging will resume with the go-live on the new Symphony system Tuesday April 14.
The start of this suspension period has been moved up from Friday April 4, effectively by two whole days. We regret that this inactivity must start earlier, but after finalizing the 46 steps required to complete the data migration, it became evident that additional downtime was needed at the start of the process.
The ILS data migration will be completed in two phases. The first one involves all of the 1.5 million bibliographic records, 8 million item records, all associated authority records, serial records, and acquisitions data being extracted from our current Millennium ILS and then loaded into the new Symphony ILS.
We have added some additional data mapping within this process to improve some of the original data mapping SWAN staff designed in October. This has added additional processing time within our migration.
The second phase of the data migration will extract the patron, checkout, bills, holds, circulation history, patron photos, and digital signatures. This is planned to begin Friday April 10 in the evening, and will end all circulation activity on the Millennium ILS until the Symphony go-live on April 14. Details on this period will be sent in a forthcoming memo.
Questions about Migration Memo #10 should be sent to migrationhelp(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:migrationhelp@swanlibraries.net>
This memo is archived on the SWAN support site with the other Migration Memos:

Again, we apologize for this date change. Even as early as Thursday last week at the Quarterly we announced a different start date for this event. New information and additional tasks resulted in adjusting our plans.
