<p>The one thing I will say about WMS is that learning how to use it has been so much easier than learning how to use Serials Solutions and I now understand things I never understood about Serials Solutions because I figured out how to do them in WMS. We're
currently using both, but I'm hoping once I get all our data transferred over and spend a little time testing it that we'll be able to drop Serials Solutions completely.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Thank you for the responses! Our records are being pulled today (5 pm) for migration, so we are truly just now moving to WMS. I think some are just stressed about the upcoming changes. We've had our current ILS for almost 15 years and Serials
Solutions for 10 years (I think). The cost savings of using WMS instead of a combo of an ILS and Serials Solutions is significant, which is why most of us figured that Serials Sol was part of the plan.

</div>
<div>After sending out the message, I found a demo video of the Link Resolver (and created our link from the instructions and tried it out). Seems to function nicely.</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
