*Posted on behalf of the Northern Ohio Technical Services Librarians Board; please pardon any duplication.* 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! The cost to register per individual is $25, or $10 for students and retirees, but 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.
