Thank you, Josh. I appreciate the feedback, and it’s definitely what we’re thinking.

Take care,

Shannon

I would suggest doing discovery first, as it is way less labor- and cost-intensive and has a big impact on users. One thing to consider when you choose a discovery system is to what extent it will be compatible with your future LMS of choice, otherwise you might have to switch discovery services twice. That means if you like Alma, go with Primo or Summon. If you like Sierra or something open-source like Koha or Folio, go with EDS.

Good morning,

We are investigating adding a Discovery Service (such as EDS, Primo or Summon) and an LMS  (perhaps ALMA), but recently learned we can only implement one of these services for now.

We believe it would be easier (less staff time/people) involved to implement a Discovery Service, and then as resources allowed, add on ALMA, or some other LMS.

Are there any reasons why you might want to implement one of these before the other?

I would appreciate any thoughts or experiences you might have had.

Thank you,

Shannon
