Applications Inventory
In addition to creating an equipment inventory, the Libraries created an applications inventory
that included information about the dependencies that applications had on each other. For
example, the Libraries’ electronic resources reserve application (Ares) had been integrated into
the university’s course management system, Blackboard. That meant that when Blackboard was
inaccessible, Ares was as well. All of these dependencies had to be taken into account when
planning the schedule for the move.
