The following images show, for example, what has happened to our tabbed boxes following migration:
Last week we took the plunge and migrated everything from our Libguides platform to the new Libguides version 2. This is something we've been anticipating with a mixture of excitement and apprehension for quite a while. The actual migration process was all managed by Springshare, we just set a date and when that date arrived, all our content was copied across to the new system. On the whole the migration has gone well, all our basic pages have migrated perfectly and I love the new look. The images below show the two systems; although they still look quite similar the new system does have a much more modern, 'clean' feel. The libguides are also wider which makes them look clearer and less cluttered. Unfortunately we do have a few issues with our migration because we used quite a lot of coding in our libguides system. We used coding to create interesting pages with rotating picture galleries, tabbed boxes etc. These all need to be checked and reconfigured for the new version. The following images show, for example, what has happened to our tabbed boxes following migration: We did know we were going to have these issues before we migrated, so we didn't have too many surprises! Now the Reference Team are working hard to check every page of every published guide and rectify any issues. Once everything has been checked we will go live with our libguides 2 system. We're hoping this will happen in time for the new school year in August.

I've now relocated back to the UK and I am hoping to find a job that I enjoy as much as the one I've just left!
