IUG Zoom forum on ILS Migrations 5/15/2025 1pm Eastern

If you’re contemplating or in the process of an ILS migration OR have recently performed a migration and have tips to share, feel free to join us in a few hours for this zoom session.

This session is free for IUG members.

…and by “a few hours”, @wesochuck means one hour. :slight_smile:

First lesson of migrations… time has no meaning! See you all soon :clock1:

Note:  Although the May 15 forum was about migrating from one ILS to another (e.g. Sierra to Polaris, Sierra to Koha), this post is about migrating from self-hosted on-premises servers to the Clarivate cloud:

Over this past weekend I wrote a 2,000+ word account of the various issues we encountered during our Sierra cloud migration last year, with the intention of helping a fellow ILS admin (Polaris in her case) proactively avoid those same difficulties.  If your library is contemplating such a migration, I’ll be happy to share an edit of that email as I’d like to help anyone learn from our experience.  The process could have gone a lot more smoothly.
