In early 2010, Pepperdine University Libraries made the decision to migrate all library data and systems functionality to OCLC’s Webscale Management System, a then-nascent cloud-based system. One of the initial four pilot institutions, Pepperdine went live in December 2010.
This presentation will discuss:
• Why the migration decision was made
• Data migration lessons
• Current project status
• Lessons learned, work flow changes, and cultural impact
• Path forward
