Redeveloping an application as a Cloud App: making an inventory app for USMAI and beyond

Back to Schedule Check-inYou can join session 5 minutes before start time.

Session Information

Following the USMAI migration to Alma, the Consortial Library Applications Support team began investigation of the Purdue Batch Inventory app. Ultimately, our team concluded that the app should be refactored to utilize the ExLibris Cloud App infrastructure, allowing for easy distribution, reduced administrative overhead, and avoiding restrictions set on API access. Following an initial development period, the "Super Shelf Inventory" app was released for alpha testing in early December 2024. To date, 3 institutions have performed Alpha testing, with 13 revisions released to address testing results. In this presentation, I will go over some of the highlights of the development process. I will also explain some of the technical solutions I used, both to enhance functionality of the existing app and also to overcome issues introduced by switching to a mostly ephemeral framework.
