Due to issues that became apparent in a recent migration of another of their customers, the WISCAT and BadgerLink platform vendor, Auto-Graphics, has postponed the migration to Version 6. The system is now scheduled to go down on Friday, September 6th at 7pm and come back online, live with Version 6, on Monday, September 9th at 7am. We understand that this delay may cause significant inconveniences, especially for academic and school libraries. While we regret having to postpone the migration now for a second time, our hope is that this delay ultimately results in a better migration experience for WISCAT libraries and BadgerLink users.
