Virtual Migration: Moving to a Web Based ILS
Despite the shrieks that the "catalog is dead", long live the catalog! I was fortunate to be part of a panel of librarians at a workshop designed for those contemplating a move to a Web-based Integrated Library System. The session was a special program put on by the SLA Legal Division as part of the Denver annual meeting.
The session was attended - early on a Sunday morning in the
mile-long Colorado Convention Center - by librarians from law firms,
high schools, and corporations. My portion of the program focused
on the selection but most of all on the implementation of the
ILS. Obviously, in 45 minutes, there is a limit to what you can
do. I had to supplement my presentation with this handout of tips and
ideas to consider when selecting and implementing an ILS. It
reflects a distillation of what I would have liked to know when we
moved from our Dynix Horizon
system (now defunct) in 2006 and onto our hosted EOS International EOS.Web
system.
