This is a reminder that registration is still open for the Amigos Library Services online conference Moving On: Migrating Library Content and Data. The event will take place on Thursday, February 11. More information is below.
“This link worked yesterday – why doesn’t it work now?” “Will all of our local MARC fields migrate when we change catalogs?” When it comes to integrated library systems and electronic resources platforms, the one constant is change. Whether it’s migrating all your MARC records to a new catalog system or updating URLs when an e-book vendor changes their platform, most library staff members encounter a migration at least once in their career.
These processes can be daunting, but they don’t have to be scary. This Amigos Library Services online conference will explore ways to lessen the pain of migrations between library systems and platforms.
To see the schedule and register, go here. Registration closes on Monday, February 8, at 8:00 AM CDT. For more information about this conference, please contact Emily Nimsakont, at nimsakont@amigos.org.
