In addition, OhioLINK and ExLibris recently updated with a more detailed timeline.
Phase 1, June – September 2024
- Online training, sandbox with generic data, and invited training sessions.
Phase 2, September 2024 – June 2025
- Live and online training. 1 day of tech services, 1 day of public services.

Phase 3, Summer 2025, Post go-live: Targeted online training continues as new workflows become routine.
