Abstract

One hundred ten of California's community college libraries migrated to Ex Libris' Alma and Primo VE library services platform (LSP), going live between December 2019 and January 2020, thus launching the California Community College's (CCC) Library Services Platform Program (LSP Program). This presentation will describe the CCCs LSP Implementation Project from migration to go-live and beyond, to the formation of the LSP Program, including challenges, successes, and opportunities.
