What's the timeline for the transition?
 The INFOhio Governing Advisory Board has been working diligently for the past several years as the motions below indicate.

98.06-04  Don Mayle moved and Sally Norton seconded to encumber available funds to purchase the WEBooking and WEB2 products, with final purchase contingent on successful discussions with the vendors and appropriate approvals as required.

01.08-08 It was moved by John Mitchell and seconded by Pat Johnson to accept the "INFOhio Taos Migration Plan" including:

  • INFOhio TAOS Migration Timeline

  • Investigation of other Sirsi products

  • Moratorium on future MultiLIS enhancements as of January 1, 2002

  • Additional information on projected migration costs

02.03-03 It was moved by John Mitchell and seconded by Jerry Woodyard to approve 1) the proposed library automation migration from MultiLIS to the Unicorn product and 2) a five year commitment to an INFOhio/Sirsi working partnership, conditional on INFOhio receiving necessary funding appropriations.
