Description

NOTSL is pleased to sponsor the following speakers and presentations: Jennifer M. Eustis, Metadata Librarian at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, will present “Managing Futures: Working Towards the Future You Need.” How is it possible to manage expectations that are met by stakeholders during a migration? Jennifer will cover concepts on managing expectations and highlight examples of both successful and unsuccessful strategies at all stages of a migration. Lori Thorrat, Catalog and Processing Manager at Cuyahoga County Public Library, will present “Migration, Reimagining Your Library.” Nothing says change like migration. Migration touches on all levels of staff and causes you to examine all policies and procedures. Whether you are a single branch library or a large multi-branch system, migration can be a key to reimagining your library and how you serve your customers. Mike Monaco, Coordinator, Cataloging Services at the University of Akron, will present “Advocating for TS Before and During a Migration.” What can we learn about advocating for TS in a system migration? We’ll examine the big picture at OhioLINK and the closeup of the University of Akron as OhioLINK considers migration. Robin Buser, Supervisor, Acquisitions & Metadata Services at Columbus State Community College, will present “Managing an ILS Migration Project Using Microsoft Teams.” The Columbus State library has started using Microsoft Teams to manage library projects. This presentation will show how product management tools will be used for the ILS migration project.
