<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I echo much of what others have said, and would also like to mention one additional point. Be sure none of your documents and files reside only on a personal drive
or folder. Move these to a shared drive or folder. In some cases your colleagues may not even know these files exist. Make sure others know about and can access any hard copy documents you might have filed away. When a colleague retired some years ago,
there was a filing cabinet between our offices. Each of us had thought it belonged to the other. A package (not library material related) sat on top of that filing cabinet for over a year until I finally looked at it and saw it was for me. “My” filing cabinet
was on the other side of the door and it never occurred to me that anyone thought this other cabinet was mine. I didn’t want to poach my colleague’s package and once she retired I knew the package was not hers. Fortunately there were no important documents
in the cabinet. </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;color:#1F497D">J</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Diane,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I just finished a recorded presentation on exactly this topic, so I’ve been thinking through many of the things than can and do help. Since there won’t be any overlap or training, here are some of the highlights that I wish I’d had or
that I think would be helpful for our other open positions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">Create workflows that will be accessible by your replacement. These can be Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, or even recorded videos of common tasks. They can be generic enough that they specify a position
that completes the task rather than named individuals who may change over time.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">Be sure to share usernames and passwords. We use LastPass and Alma (previously Intota), but the next person will need to know where and how to access admin profiles.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">A shared email account can be very handy and make transitions easier. My last two positions had accounts like
<a href="mailto:libacq@yourinstitution.edu">libacq@yourinstitution.edu</a> or something similar that can be accessed by you or your team and any replacement who joins your institution. That helps retain email histories so that the relevant individuals can
find important details from vendors or from each other.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">Cross-training can also be valuable, so even if you can’t pass along your wisdom directly to a replacement, there will be others who remain who can do so. For example, if I know how to perform several key
workflows in Alma, at least one other person here should also understand those processes, even if it isn’t all done by the same back-up individual. That’s tough with smaller staffs, but may be an option.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">That’s probably plenty of info already, but the last thing I’d mention is to be sure your administration understands what you do. That can mean creating a broad outline of responsibilities, but it helps
to avoid gaps in tasks for your replacement. For example, if you periodically check database links or update LibGuide links, that won’t make your replacement’s job description, but should be something they know was being done in the past so that they can
continue that work.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope that you find something here helpful, although you’ve probably already considered many or all of these things.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks, and congrats on your retirement!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I’m retiring with my last day being June 30. Thank you all to everyone who has answered questions and given good advice, this listserv has been immensely helpful.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I won’t have a chance to train the next person in this position. I started in 2008 when electronic resources hadn’t been handled by one person and there weren’t so many e-resources to begin with. There was a steep
learning curve for me: I had to pore over various things to get them set up properly in different systems, dig into old paperwork and order records to figure things out, and cobbled together new workflows. For those of you who stepped into an already established
Electronic Resources Librarian position, what documentation do you wish had been left for you?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I’m furiously writing up documentation, but I know there are things I won’t think of until months later, or at all.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
