ABSTRACT
Online content hosted on web-based platforms has many benefits for libraries and their patrons. Vendors will often migrate to newer platforms as new developments and products emerge. Although migrations are meant to improve services, content platform migrations are complex, resulting in problems regardless of careful preparation. In this presentation, a publisher and an academic librarian offer their experiences and challenges with online content platform migrations. A co-chair of the National Information Standards Organization’s Content Platform Migration Working Group shares the group’s work to establish content migration best practices.
