Library Guides: OLD: Libguides Presentation: Migrating from v1 to v2 (Julia)

Migrating from v1 to v2

Hi everyone, and thanks for attending my session on migrating from Libguides v1 to v2. Below you can find a few helpful links on the migration process as well as the presentation slides I used during the class. Best of luck with the migration and let me know if I can help you in any way!

Helpful migration links

Springshare's thorough and useful libguide on migrating from v1 to v2. An excellent first stop for any questions on the transition.

This is a very helpful document which gives you advice on cleaning up V1 before migrating to V2. It is written for libguides admins.
Springshare migration checklist for guide creators
This is a list of content items in a guide that you may want to clean up before migration.

Migration process links from other schools who have gone through it:

Migration Timeline from University of Wisconsin-Madison
Publishing a migration timeline is an excellent idea. Here's a good one.
Updating LibGuides & Preparing for LibGuides v2 Migration Checklist (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
This is a live checklist libguides authors and admins can use to ease the transition from v1 to v2.
University of Cincinnati Libguide on Migration
This migration libguide was created for guide authors from that school and contains a timeline, migration reports, and a sign-up for pre-migration walkthrough sessions.

Interesting and attractive new landing pages for libguides:

Reynolds Community College Library
City University London Library
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Simmons Library
This guide is currently (as of Jan 2015) still v1, but is a beautifully organized and thorough approach to a libguides landing page.
