The majority of the California Community College Libraries are migrating to a new Integrated Library System called Primo/Alama from Ex-Libris. The bulk of the cost for this migration is being covered by the State but should the College Library need any add-ons beyond the basic package, there may be additional costs. That is yet to be determined. The migration date is set for Dec. 2019.
