Data Migration is not as difficult as we consider it - Try yourself....It it very easy
by Dp Tripathi 16 Feb '19

16 Feb '19

Dear Friends, This is my personal experience during conversation with professionals regarding library automation and data migration. Many of us are struggling with data migration and consider this as a big challenge. Friends, I wish to convince you that data migration is not as difficult as we are making it. It is very simple process except few cases where we are not having the provision of exporting data in excel or Marc. Whatever system you are working, it does not matter. If you wish to switch over to any other ILMS then only you have to pull your data either in excel or Marc format or ISO format (if possible) then purify your data and make it compatible with your chosen software. Here are few videos which may help you to understand the process of data migration. Please have a blank data sheet with few data in it and practice 2-3 times and you will become master in it. Please don't consider it as tough task. 1. Basic of Data Migration = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNEoZinoUoc&list=PLekqhBcsqZXIgBN-q0JGVyvEq… 2. Data Migration - Prepare the Excel Sheet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lKuDGp8Y7M&list=PLekqhBcsqZXIgBN-q0JGVyvEq… 3. Convert the Excel Sheet into Marc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LERl6T92jPw&list=PLekqhBcsqZXIgBN-q0JGVyvEq… 4. Data Migration - Import the Converted file in to Koha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQmQUN8Bv5w&list=PLekqhBcsqZXIgBN-q0JGVyvEq… Hope these video will help you to understand the process of data migration and also importing the record in Koha.

Block your dates for ICDL 2019...we are back
by Vijay Vikram S Parihar 16 Feb '19

16 Feb '19

Dear LIS Professionals, We are happy to announce the 6th Edition of ICDL 2019….. Digital transformation is the profound transformation of organizational activities, processes, competencies and models to fully leverage the changes and opportunities of a mix of digital technologies and their accelerating impact across society in a strategic and prioritized way, with present and future shifts in mind. While digital transformation predominantly impacts several types of organizations such as governments, public sector agencies and organizations, which are involved in tackling societal challenges addressed in SDG Goals such as Pollution, Education, Energy, and Populations by leveraging one or more of the existing and emerging technologies. The human element is key on all levels: in the stages of transformation as such  (collaboration, ecosystems, skills, culture, empowerment etc.) and obviously in the goals of digital transformation. Since people don’t want ‘digital’ for everything and do value human and face-to-face interactions there will always be an ‘offline’ element, depending on the context. Keeping this in view, we would like to inform you that TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute), India is going to host its 6th edition of ICDL (International Conference on Digital Landscape) from 06 to 08 November, 2019 New Delhi India. The theme of the conference Digital Transformation for an Agile Environment. Please block your dates and we will soon get you connected through several platforms. Like the previous five editions of ICDL, we solicit your support and guidance to make this event a memorable one. With warm regards, ICDL 2019 Secretariat The Energy and Resources Institute India Habitat Centre Complex, Lodhi Road New Delhi – 110 003, India Tel: 91-11-24682100/41504900 Fax: 91-11-24682144/45 Email: ICDL(a)teri.res.in<mailto:2019@teri.res.in> Web: www.teriin.org/events/icdl<http://www.teriin.org/events/icdl> ================================== Disclaimer : The information contained in this e-mail and any attachments is intended for the person or entity to which it is addressed, and it may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
