P2E: Painful to Easy. Kristen Fredericksen, The Catholic University of America.
P2E (Physical to Electronic) is the name for the migration process that converts electronic resource records from the ILS into electronic inventory in Alma. The process requires pre-migration planning and post-migration cleanup. This presentation will demystify the process and recommend different approaches for your institution's needs. Learn how P2E relates to acquisitions data, ERM holdings, and the Alma Community Zone.
How to Train for an Alma/Primo Migration. Kailey Brisbin, University of Guelph.
In December 2019, the University of Guelph Library migrated to Alma/Primo as part of the Omni collaboration between 14 Ontario Universities. This how-to session focuses on the staff training portion of the migration. It will outline Guelph's training approach, including creating a training plan, developing a local training working group, and conducting training sessions. It will also discuss successes, challenge, and the importance of communication and collaboration.
Migrations in Motion: Why Library-Vendor Collaboration is Essential. Moriah Guy, Gobi Library Solutions from EBSCO. (Gold Sponsor)
The session will include a high level overview of the GOBI and SSD migration processes for migrating Alma customers, GOBI and SSD updates for current customers, and a high level overview of the workflows and services available for GOBI customers.
The "Good Enough" Migration: Balancing Time, Effort, and Outcomes. Sarah Theimer, University of New Hampshire.
Migrating two leanly staffed libraries into Alma/Primo presented challenges for the University of New Hampshire Library and The University of New Hampshire School of Law. Before migration we identified which decisions needed to be agreed on and where we could intentionally choose to differ. We identified where our overlap allowed a streamlined effort and where we could learn from each other. Staff at times struggled to balance major migration work on top of daily job responsibilities, challenging peace of mind and morale. We prioritized those areas where clean data was essential and intentionally let some problems migrate. Post migration clean-up and integration of library data continued past the initial migration date. After migrating we learned to take advantage of nearby Alma sites, and to reasonably assess the help and limitations of other institutions' Alma documentation. We still are looking at working together, while not wasting people's time.
