You can also export the circ logs (historical checkouts) and other information if you want circ history to be transferred over. (we did this last summer). we printed some for our own reference and some we sent to BywaterSolutions staff to load Advance bookings.csv fines.csv reserves.xls checkout history (as csv) patrons materials MaterialsChkedOut.csv materials messages (matmess.csv) Patron messages (patmess.csv) email me if you need specific instructions and I'll dig them out.
