ELUNA 2023 Annual Meeting
Migrating to Primo VE in a Pandemic with a Shared ILS: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Session Abstract
In this presentation, we will discuss the hurdles encountered at our individual institutions, as well as 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 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.
Learning Outcome #1
Participants will learn of possible pitfalls to expect when migrating from Primo BO to Primo VE.
Learning Outcome #2
Participants will learn about the migration taskforces (size and constitution) who were assembled at two of the larger institutions within the Orbis Cascade Alliance.
