LibLime's migration and data services allow your library to leverage the skills and experience of our data engineers in dealing with a variety of library data types. We're prepared to take care of every level of the migration process, from data extraction and standardization to normalization and import into your new system.

Data migration and enhancement services include:

  • Bibliographic record normalization
  • Bibliographic record import
  • Authorities import (multiple authority schemas)
  • Borrower record import
  • Transaction records import
  • Data integrity testing

LibLime has successfully migrated bibliographic, borrower and transaction data from most legacy ILS systems. We are also happy to act in a consultant capacity, offering guidance for help in handling the data migration if you choose to use in-house resources.

Migration: easy as 1 ...2 ...3!

The migration process involves three phases: extraction, insertion and integrity testing. LibLime can assist you in negotiating the extraction of your records and transaction data from various standard and proprietary formats, including various versions of proprietary system databases. The extracted data is then inserted into the newly configured system, and undergoes a rigorous verification process to ensure the integrity of all bibliographic, patron and transaction data.
