From Consortial to Local: Achieving ILS Migration Objectives at Your Local Library
Free Virtual Forum & Discussion
Friday, Oct. 27 ~ 9:30am-12pm
By October, Ohio academic libraries will be in the beginning stages of the ILS migration planning process at the consortial and local library levels. Although a good portion of the workflows will be guided by OhioLINK and the to-be-selected vendor, Ex Libris, each of our campus library systems will need to execute a local implementation plan that best serves the library and its stakeholders. This Virtual Morning Forum & Discussion will be an excellent opportunity to compare notes on our planning efforts, and how we’re helping our colleagues across all library departments navigate the process. Our Forum panelists will include representatives from OhioLINK, Ohio academic library associations, and librarians experienced in ILS migrations. Insights and takeaways from the discussion will include tips on how to effectively:
Our local ILS transition activities will impact all library teams and departments. Library staff, regardless of specialty, are encouraged to attend this free Forum. |

Take the Pre-Forum Survey |
| Our panelists would love to hear more about how local ILS migration plans are going! Please consider taking this quick and anonymous survey about
the kinds of planning considerations and challenges in play at your
libraries, or other issues you would like to know more about. We’ll use
this feedback to customize the Forum according to your top questions and
concerns. OhioLINK institutionally affiliated attendees can also log into their OhioLINK Ostaff accounts and review Deb Mashek’s recent 2023 OhioLINK Summit Keynote Address on project planning best practices,as well as her project planning checklist. |
