國立政治大學Alma圖書館服務平台導入實務之經驗分享

An Experience Sharing of Alma Implementation in National Chengchi University Libraries

隨著圖書館需求與資訊環境發展的複雜變化，越來越多圖書館迫切欲汰換傳統圖書館自動化系統轉置到新一代的圖書館服務平台。然而，圖書館自動化系統轉置是個複雜龐大的工程，各圖書館的館藏規模、任務、人力資源、服務對象與機構的網路環境建設皆有所不同，但規劃系統轉置作業的基本原則與策略，應相去不遠。本文主旨為揭示國立政治大學圖書館從Millennium轉換自動化系統至雲端圖書館服務平台Alma的實作經歷與問題分享，以時序論述本館在系統轉置前、測轉與正式轉置等三階段的重要工作項目、輔助工具、注意事項、遭遇的問題、與因應策略或未來建議等，期可供欲進行雲端圖書館服務平台轉置作業之圖書館同道參考。

As libraries' needs and information services complicatedly evolve, more and more libraries are eager to migrate from traditional Integrated Library Systems (ILS) to the next generation of Library Services Platforms. Based on the differences of library's collection size, service objects, human resource, patrons and technology infrastructure, the library management system migration process would be a huge and complex project. Even though each migration process comes with challenges that are unique to the library and systems involved, there are still some general guidelines and strategies shared. This paper is a report of National Chengchi University Libraries' experiences for migrating from Innovative Interfaces, Inc.'s Millennium to Ex Libris' Alma. Three stages of migration process (pre-migration, test migration, and cutover) were introduced in chronological order. In conclusion, we discussed the main tasks, key events, migration tools, problems, strategies and suggestions, etc. These lessons and experiences will be recommended as references for those libraries planning to carry out cloud-base library service platform migration.
