Migrating to Primo VE in a pandemic with a shared ILS: What could possibly go wrong?
Physical/Virtual?
Physical session (+ live streaming with Zoom)
Session Abstract
In this presentation, we will discuss the hurdles encountered at our individual institutions, in addition to the considerations required for migrating in a shared consortial environment and the work that entailed. Specifically, we will look at issues of COVID-related staffing and burnout at our individual institutions and the changing landscape of collaboration at the Orbis Cascade Alliance. We will then consider the transition from a centrally-managed Primo (PBO) to a hybrid model that incorporates both consortial and institutional responsibility (VE). Lastly, we will discuss the loss of functional parity between PBO and VE and how that has transformed certain of our working groups’ workflows and responsibilities.
