SUNYLA Midwinter Virtual Conference
Life After Migration: Making Alma and Primo work for Everyone
February 7, 2020
Library migrations to new Library Services Platforms can be challenging but also provide opportunities for improving user services and staff workflows. In July of 2019, SUNY Libraries went live with Alma and Primo. Are you a library that’s migrated to Alma and Primo? We’re interested in hearing how libraries are changing their library instruction, their in-house workflows, and their discovery interface to better suit their patrons.
Possible session topics might answer these questions: What changes have you made to update your Information literacy instruction? What refinements or automation have you made to your workflows? How have outreach and marketing helped to spread the word? What new library help guides have you created? Have you developed any new best practices? How did you go about training your staff? What customizations did you make to Primo? How have you integrated Primo into your library's website?
Come share your experiences with your supportive and non-judgmental library colleagues at the SUNYLA Midwinter Virtual Conference on February 7, 2020 (10:00am - 2:30pm EST).
Presentations should be 15-20 minutes in length, in a format that best suits your topic. Presentations should include what changes you’ve made, how other libraries can implement your changes, and can also include any changes you hope to make in the future.
Technology requirements: Computer, internet connection, microphone/speakers (headset recommended) or telephone, quiet space for presenting, webcam optional
Accepting proposals until Friday, December 13, 2019. You do not need to be a SUNYLA member in order to present or attend this free conference. Please submit your proposal here:
