Overview:
With the Alma migration comes connecting the new Library Services Platform (LSP) to third-party applications in use across the libraries and Duke. This project is an overarching document for the integrations the DUL Agile team need to complete before go-live on July 10, 2024.

Start Date | Sprint zero |
Current Sprint | Sprint #5 - |
Target Date | - data freeze / Ex-Libris-imposed-deadline for integrations - Alma Go Live |
Status | See list below for status updates |
Dependencies | Delivery of Duke’s Alma instance (1/18/2024) |
Notes | Target date is set by Ex Libris as part of our project plan. |
Goal: The individual integrations should be at least at MVP for the June 7 deadline.
Scope: If the team determines some of the requirements need to wait until post-implementation they should communicate that to the LSPSG through Karen and the product owners (Julie and Erin).
