Library Services at the University of North Alabama (UNA) is transitioning from the Ex Libris Voyager system to Innovative Interface's Sierra. Sierra will provide needed new features such as Electronic Resource Management, Integration of the OPAC and EBSCO Discovery, etc. In addition, the products are hosted at Innovative's newest server facilities in Oakland, California so we don't have to exhaust our IT resources on server maintenance, updates, etc. Much of Sierra is based on the long standing Millennium platform but with an upgraded PostgreSQL backbone. Some of the features, such as the integrated Encore/EDS patron side are only recently announced.
The "Go Live" for Sierra is the week of September 23rd. This makes for a compressed timeline and training schedule so I ask everyone to hold on as things may get a bit harried.
