Posted on behalf of the Northern Ohio Technical Services Librarians Board; please pardon any duplication. NEW FOR FALL 2022: We are now offering two group rate options! If you have any questions regarding registering at either group rate, or you have already registered and are hoping to add more registrants from your institution, please contact NOTSL Treasurer Laura Maidens at [log in to unmask] and we will work with you to find a solution. Option 1: Group - Together. For institutions registering two or more people who will take part together on the same device, we are offering a rate of $50 for the group. This option allows for a single Zoom login, so please register with the contact information of the person who will be responsible for logging in. Attempting to open the link with a different email will not work. Attempting to open the link on more than one computer will ask the first logged in account to close their window. Option 2: Group - Individual. For institutions registering three or more people who will take part individually on separate devices, we are offering a discounted rate of $20 per individual. Individuals must be registered in one transaction using “Group rate - Individual” and this ticket option only applies if at least three tickets are selected using this option. – Registration is now open for the Northern Ohio Technical Services Librarians’ virtual Fall meeting. “Migration Station: Tips & Tricks to Manage Your Data,” will be held December 16, 2022, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM EST, via Zoom. Kyle Banerjee, Senior Implementation Consultant at EBSCO FOLIO Services and author of The Data Wrangler’s Handbook, will present “Getting Ready for the Big Move.” Libraries move to new systems to deliver better services to users. But what does that mean for purposes of preparing to migrate? Learn what you need to think about and how to prepare your data to achieve the best results possible. Theda Schwing, Associate Director of Discovery and Delivery at OhioLINK will deliver a presentation titled, “A Marathon, Not a Sprint: The OhioLINK RFP Process.” OhioLINK is currently in the middle of a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to select an Integrated Library System (ILS) for its member libraries. This presentation will discuss the background, timeline, and complexities involved in considering a change of ILS on the consortial scale. Wes Osborne, Executive Director at the Central Library Consortium, will present “Lessons Learned from a Decade of System Migrations.” Wes has been a part of nearly a dozen system migrations while working in ILS System Administration. He'll share insights learned over the years and you'll hear about a time he was cussed at over a data migration issue! At the Business Meeting (open to all!), Erin Kilkenny will present a short summary of the NOTSL futures survey we sent out in September. Thank you to everyone who participated! Non-group registration per individual is $25, or $10 for students and retirees. For all registrations, please be aware Eventbrite charges a non-refundable processing fee that will affect the total purchase price.

The deadline to register is December 9. -- Rebecca Belford Technical Services Librarian, Oberlin Conservatory Library 77 W.
