Session Abstract
Bad data formatting is the #1 hurdle to a successful Collections Management System (CMS) migration. While every CMS is different in how it likes the data to import, the one foundational principle we can rely on is that the data needs to be consistently formatted. In this fifth installment of our cleanup series, we get hands-on with the Excel tools that turn messy formatting into import-ready data. In this series we approach Excel from a collections-first perspective. We aren't spreadsheet scientistsā€”weā€™re registrars and archivists sharing the exact, repeatable workflows we use to get data migration-ready without needing to be an Excel expert. New to the series? Catch up on our previous sessions on planning and foundational cleanup via Relicuraā€™s Collection Data Cleanup playlist on YouTube.
