Abstract

Emporia State University (ESU) Libraries and Archives made the decision to switch from Sierra and EZProxy to EBSCO hosted FOLIO and OpenAthens. ESU also upgraded to the new EDS UI at the same time. While there were a few challenges with migration ESU Libraries and Archives has seen a great benefit to not only help the efficiency of the library, but in supporting its students and faculty by migrating and upgrading to the new systems.
