[Nmsalsa] Moving On: Migrating Library Content and Data

[Library, OSE, OSE]

Just a reminder, if you are an Amigos member, this conference is free. (see below)


I'm currently attending the course, Introduction to Archives, which is informative if you don't have experience with archives. It's recorded (4 90 minute sessions). I paid for it because I want to understand this field better, in light of writing a grant and how my agency could be handling historic materials. Learning the vocabulary is helpful.

Subject: [EXT] [OCLC-CAT] Don't miss this online conference - Moving On: Migrating Library Content and Data

The registration deadline is quickly approaching for the Amigos Library Services online conference, Moving On: Migrating Library Content and Data. Registration closes on Monday, February 8 at 8:00 AM Central Time.

"This link worked yesterday - why doesn't it work now?" "Will all of our local MARC fields migrate when we change catalogs?" When it comes to integrated library systems and electronic resources platforms, the one constant is change. Whether it's migrating all your MARC records to a new catalog system or updating URLs when an e-book vendor changes their platform, most library staff members encounter a migration at least once in their career. These processes can be daunting, but they don't have to be scary.

Join us February 11, 2021, for Moving On: Migrating Library Content and Data. This Amigos Library Services online conference will explore ways to lessen the pain of migrations between library systems and platforms.

We've got a great lineup of speakers, including a keynote presentation by Lindsay Cronk titled "What Moves Us: Approaching Migration, Managing Change."
