In this presentation, we will provide an overview of the path we took from Ares to Leganto, the challenges we faced, the help we received, and the creative solutions we employed to survive the journey with our oxen intact. We will share our experiences in survival activities such as planning, data migration, configuration, integration, communication, testing, and implementation. And we will highlight some of the notable moments in our journey and the lessons we learned along the way. Participants will be provided with a copy of and/or link to a "travel guide" that outlines our journey which they can fill in with specifics about their own course reserve setup, notes from the presentation, questions they should consider, etc. which they can use in planning their own traversal.
