Data conversion can encompass just the catalog records or everything in the current system including checkout history, serials subscriptions, vendor records, order records, payment history, routing, claiming, etc. so the more we understand about what is expected the more accurate our offer will be. Data will consist of all information to include circulation history, serials, patron history and catalog, and catalog records. 13. Does HQ AFSPC prefer one consolidated database or separate databases for each library, which can be accessed by staff and base users? The number of databases must be determined by the contractor; however, it must contain 6 separate catalogs which are searchable by each other.
