Migratory Behavior – Maintaining External Integration Amid an ILS Migration
To operate effectively, modern libraries have integrated their various
internal systems with a myriad of external systems. While such
integration allows libraries to deliver efficient, accurate,
point-of-need services, it creates special challenges whenever the
inputs or outputs from any of these systems are altered. One of the most
significant alterations to this labyrinth of connected systems occurs
when a library migrates to a new Integrated Library System (ILS).
In addition to migrating internal data and workflows to the new ILS, the
library must also manage the changes necessary to ensure that critical
transfers of information with outside systems are maintained. This
session will take a look at ILS migrations from the library acquisitions
perspective focusing on the cooperative steps taken by libraries and
vendors to ensure that order record downloads can continue, EDI invoice
transfers are not interrupted, payment data can still be output to
institutional financial systems, etc.
