Dear Librarians,
Below is our checklist for what you can do to prepare for our platform
migration on November 20. We know that publisher migrations add to the
workload of our already busy librarian customers, and we appreciate the
time you put into making this a smooth transition.
As a reminder, the HighWire administration site is now locked down. Changes
made now will not move to the new Silverchair platform. You will have the
opportunity to update your information after the new platform launches on
November 20.
You can find the following checklist and other helpful documents
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__t.e2ma.net_click_bdo1w_rxadad_jfbb4e&d=DwMFaQ&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=wIB6Cd5giouGJeI-Lt8x5LMmsLrh14kPD6AVN_9cDDM&m=KMQ0GTFUAGgEVWNMTnvkG_-zvmh8is7QCMQycTtUqkA&s=Ptc_9ijBZmmX6a-0SD9siRzF1cr6NTE9cQ6N1zacZpk&e=>
about our platform migration on our web site.
There will be another communication before launch letting you know what to
expect on launch day, November 20. If you have any questions after
reviewing the checklist, please email [log in to unmask]
*Checklist*
*Pre-launch (before November 20)*
- *Confirm your book and journal entitlements.* Note what content you
currently have access to on the HighWire platform so you can confirm you
have access on the new Silverchair platform. (We will be in touch when we
are ready for you to review information on the new platform.)
- *Prepare for link resolver, URL, discovery layer, and ERM changes.*
Examine your system’s requirements. Will updates to records occur through
an automated process through your vendor, or do you need to deactivate any
old records and activate new records? Do you need to update any URLs? We
will be in touch with vendors including EBSCO, OCLC, and ProQuest/Ex Libris.
- *Gather usage statistics.* Pull all historic usage statistics from
before November 20, 2017. Statistics from the HighWire platform (usage
prior to November 20) will *not* be available from the new Silverchair
platform.
- *Note that MARC records for books will remain usable.* The Links in
MARC records are DOI-based, so they will resolve to the book pages on the
new platform. After November 20, you can find our MARC records at
https://www.dukeupress.edu/Libraries/marc.php
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__t.e2ma.net_click_bdo1w_rxadad_z7bb4e&d=DwMFaQ&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=wIB6Cd5giouGJeI-Lt8x5LMmsLrh14kPD6AVN_9cDDM&m=KMQ0GTFUAGgEVWNMTnvkG_-zvmh8is7QCMQycTtUqkA&s=OIRZU9C_X7Hp-F15jIzT5HIQILNJYJPzmnaWAlzBu6Y&e=>
.
*Launch Day (November 20)*
- *On launch day, the content will propagate throughout the day.* We
will be in touch with more information closer to November 20.
*Immediately after Launch (on November 21)*
- *Verify you have access.* All current customers will have grace access
to all book and journal content from Duke University Press until January
15, 2018. You will have the opportunity to verify access to purchased
entitlements when this grace period ends. Duke University Press will notify
you via email when it is time to review access to your entitlements.
*Post-launch (November and December)*
- *Prepare third-party online authentication.* Update your proxy server
information. The new stanza is available from OCLC as well as on our FAQs
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__t.e2ma.net_click_bdo1w_rxadad_f0cb4e&d=DwMFaQ&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=wIB6Cd5giouGJeI-Lt8x5LMmsLrh14kPD6AVN_9cDDM&m=KMQ0GTFUAGgEVWNMTnvkG_-zvmh8is7QCMQycTtUqkA&s=geDfuDv3aZLy_ohE8n74FsuWONbetN7SnG-XoZNdilM&e=>
. EZProxy updates must be made by December 2017.
- *Pull November 2017 usage from HighWire between Dec 15-31, 2017. *Usage
will not be available from the HighWire platform after December 31, 2017.
The new Silverchair platform will begin collecting usage on November 20 and
can be downloaded from the library administration tool in early December.
(We will be in touch with instructions at that time.)
- *Verify your library administration account information.* After
launch, check your IPs and identify your proxy IP address, contact
information, username, and email address. If you used Shibboleth
authentication on the old platform, you will need to set this up in the new
tool. Library administrators will receive an email after launch with a
message from Duke University Press concerning Silverchair administrator
access.
- *Update usage statistics links.* The login to view usage statistics
will change. We will be in touch with instructions at that time.
- *Verify your access to purchased entitlements. *When the grace period
ends on January 15, 2018, you must verify that you have access to your
purchased entitlements.
Best,
