Implementation services from EBSCO

Is your institution planning to be hosted? Self-hosting? Still considering both options? Please explain.

Hosted, EBSCO

Is your institution considering a partial implementation, such as the ERM first? Please explain.

Full FOLIO

Does your institution plan to run FOLIO in parallel with your current ILS? How long? Please explain.

No, we'll do a soft launch of FOLIO for a couple of weeks while we still have access to Sierra, then cut over to FOLIO only. 

How sure are you of the plans described above? Why or why not?

We're already seeing circulation functionality with our own data, so I'm feeling 90% sure. 

What concerns do you have? What do you hope to get out of participating in this group?

Primary concern is serials management. 
From group participation: networking, support, ideas, tips, updates from the community at large.
