From Chaos to Clarity: Managing CZ Updates After Migration to Alma
Event part
Conference
Abstract
After moving from Voyager/SFX to Alma, we started noticing that the Community Zone Updates Task List had a much bigger impact on access than we expected. Some portfolios didn’t link properly, records pointed to the wrong place, and in a lot of cases, we weren’t even sure if we were supposed to do anything with the reports. At first, we handled updates as best we could, but it wasn’t very efficient. Over time, we came up with a way to figure out which reports needed action right away, and which ones we could set aside. We wrote things down, made a checklist, and split the work between us. In this session, I’ll talk about how we approached it, what changed over time, and the things that made a difference. If you're feeling buried by CZ reports, you might find something here that makes it a bit easier.
