Preparing for Tipasa
Learn about what to expect during an implementation of Tipasa.
What's included with Tipasa
We launched Tipasa in 2017 and it's regularly enhanced on a bi-monthly basis with new features and functionality. To make sure that Tipasa meets your library's needs:
The implementation process
With our cohort implementation model, you will join a small group of libraries implementing Tipasa together. You will share a common curriculum, meeting schedule, and timeframe.
Implementation cohorts begin monthly and your library can go fully live with Tipasa in 5-8 weeks. A Tipasa expert will be happy to provide additional details about the process, including target start dates, who in your library to involve, available training, and more.
