We just decided to renew for the upcoming year. We are also in agreement here that if we decided to not renew, that would be a multi-year decision because of what businesspeople call the "installed base" problem - there are so many graduate students and faculty who are using it for multi-year projects, and we'd ideally want to give them time to finish those projects or provide a LOT of help converting their existing projects to a new platform. And of course we'd need to create a whole new instruction suite for training on the new system. Since we're chronically understaffed and no one has time for all that, it's easier to just stay where we are.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Someday we'll probably consider it seriously, but right now the soft costs of such a conversion would overwhelm us.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">For what it's worth, it has gotten a LOT better since the ExLibris people took over support for it.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Melissa Belvadi</div><div>Collections Librarian</div><div>University of Prince Edward Island</div><div><a href="mailto:mbelvadi@upei.ca" target="_blank">mbelvadi@upei.ca</a> 9<span style="font-size:12.8px">02-566-0581</span></div><div>my <a href="http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=mbelvadi%40upei.ca&ctz=America/Halifax&mode=week" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">public calendar</a></div><div><a href="https://mbelvadi.youcanbook.me/" target="_blank">Make an appointment</a> via YouCanBookMe</div><div><br></div><div><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, May 2, 2019 at 10:33 AM Wardzala, Susan <<a href="mailto:Swardza@luc.edu">Swardza@luc.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
