Description
Moving cross-country and joining a new team, in a new environment, in the middle of an institutional repository migration can be a bit of a challenge, to say the least. Add to this recipe that the team is already suffering burnout, and is migrating a proprietary database, CurateND, to a vendor-based database, Figshare. The new position: service manager, peer leadership, and navigating stakeholder relationships. The team: one migration engineer, consultant, three librarians, and two graduate college staff. This presentation will discuss navigating relationships, strategy, and workflow of an already challenging migration project as a new library faculty member at Hesburgh Libraries, University of Notre Dame. It will focus on a "people first" approach, which makes all the difference.
