So today we held the kickoff meeting to move from our in-house reading list system to its chosen successor Talis Aspire.

My role in the project is to provide the data from LORLS in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. Luckily we already wrote a nightly JSON export of all the current lists for integration with our Moodle VLE. So, current me is very grateful to past me and colleagues for developing this feature as it’ll greatly reduce ongoing efforts.

The hope is to launch with the new system, including migrated data, for Easter 2024.
