This paper is the first segment of a two-part article detailing the transition process of Northeastern State University Library’s migration from OCLC’s interlibrary loan automation system, ILLiad to its first cloud-based ILL management system, Tipasa. The transition planning process began in the fall of 2018 with the transition period beginning in early 2019. This article provides a framework for the successful implementation process of shift to a new interlibrary system in one semester. The authors explore the challenges and lessons learned while providing a structure that may be beneficial for other libraries preparing for a similar transition process.
