Abstract

Transitioning to Rialto, our library embarked on an intricate journey from OASIS, marked by considerable challenges. Adapting to Rialto demanded a rethinking of our practices and a cultural shift among the staff accustomed to legacy systems. Initial barriers included aligning the diverse range of staff expertise with Rialto's capabilities, navigating the intricacies of migrating profiles, and refining selection criteria to capitalize recommendations.

Our experience was not without its gray skies; however, the subsequent success in enhancing user experience and resource management, as well as achieving a more agile and responsive collection development strategy. Through this presenation, we share the realities of our library's transition, with the hope that our encounters with obstacles and our strategies for overcoming them can provide valuable guidance for other libraries facing similar technological evolutions.
