Content migration process for Libraries’ units set to begin

We are in the beginning stages of our content migration for the Libraries site and are looking forward to working with each of the units across the Libraries to plan their content migration to our new Drupal platform.

1. Members of the team will meet individually with stakeholders from each unit across the Libraries.
2. Together, we will complete a Migration Project Brief, outlining the project and the migration timeline.
3. The content team will review every piece of content on the unit’s site, determining audience (internal to the Libraries vs external for our users), content currency, content location, etc. Through this content mapping process, we will identify content that doesn’t necessarily fit or belong in it’s current location. At this point we will be doing card sorting/usability testing to determine the proper location/category for this content.
4. Once this content mapping is complete, we will sit down with stakeholders once again to review and discuss the plan and all content decisions will be reviewed as a group.
5. The content team will then migrate the content according to the content map.

We will begin the migration planning process in mid-September. We look forward to starting the migration planning process with your unit! Please let us know if you have any questions about the migration process! We look forward to your questions and comments. —Binky Lush, chair, WIMT
