Dates: July 7 - August 3Credits: 1.5 CEUs or 15 PDHs
This course focuses on planning and implementing a system migration such as ILS, LSP, institutional repository, and/or digital asset management (DAM)s including pre-implementation work of identification of needs, evaluation of systems, and choosing a system (including the formal process of writing a request to purchase [RFP]). Stages of a system migration project will be explored including data preparation and known issues with ILS/LSP data migrations, along with larger change management including onboarding staff, changes and revision of workflows, and more.
While this class focuses on the planning and project management of migration of library systems that support access to the library resources, especially library catalog software, aspects of this class will apply to a variety of projects that involve planning a new system, with or without migration of data including CMS/website implementation projects. Planning of system migrations and leadership through significant workflow and systems changes will lead to a more successful “Go Live” day with less stress for all staff.
Some understanding of library data and the terminology of library resources as used within library systems will be useful, but this class does not involve programming.
Course Objectives and Goals
By the end of the course students will:
This is an asynchronous course with built-in course materials and series of weekly assignments. Some course materials may be recorded.
