I think it would still be helpful for them. I'm pretty sure they are interested in how the workflow changed, how the new holds system was handled and how it affected the library, and maybe a few other questions along those lines. It's more for getting an inside look that they can take to their city.

Geoff, I can talk if you want but we actually migrated all our libraries at once almost 1 year ago.

Geoff, We have some libraries that meet that bill. However, are you talking about bringing them into an existing Evergreen installation (consortium) or migrating them all at once.

They are wanting to contact a library of similar size to talk to them about using Evergreen and how it affected workflow making the switch. Bonus points for migrating from Millennium, but not required. If someone out there thinks their library fits the bill and is willing to answer questions over the phone or by email, please send me your information so that I can pass it on!
