Links to two Ex Libris press releases pertinent to the MIT migration; one is the vendor's case study on the Barton migration per se and the other describes the Ex Libris system integration with Acme, and their development of further collaboration with other binders

Listserv page of the North American Aleph Users Group (NAAUG) site, gives an overview of existing lists with linked access to descriptions and subscription/membership information for both public and non-public discussions

Link to the April, 2001, front page article of SUNYergy, a publication of the State University of New York Office of Library and Information Services ("Ex Libris...Aleph, in the First Person," by Vince Courtney, a librarian at the Daniel A. Reed Library on the SUNY Fredonia campus), gives an interesting personal view and case history of migration to Aleph 500 during the year 2001, comparing the migration to being "shot from a cannon"
