The Ex Libris South-central Users Group (ELSUG ) will
meet Thursday, October 24th. This year’s conference is virtual.
ELSUG promotes the exchange of ideas and innovation among Ex
Libris customers in Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, and
Texas. The conference will provide an opportunity to share your
experiences, best practices, lessons, enhancements, and local innovations with
others using any of the Ex Libris products: Voyager, Aleph, DigiTool,
MetaLib, Primo, SFX, and Verde.
Conference information will be updated over time at https://sites.google.com/site/elsug2013/
Presentations at this meeting are given by users like you and
your staff! Please consider contributing to the community of Ex Libris
users in this way. Our strength is in our many different voices! We hope to see
proposals covering a wide variety of the Ex Libris products, as well as broader
topics relating to libraries and information systems.
Please forward this email to your staff, colleagues,
and/or other Ex Libris Southcentral libraries.
If you would like to discuss any ideas before submitting a
proposal, please don't hesitate to contact this year’s chair: Lesli Moore
(lmmoore2 (at) mdanderson (dot) org). If you *think* you have a good
idea, you probably do! It need not be flashy; if you worked on anything you
found tricky or complicated, others may well also want to hear about those
details. The conference's success depends on the efforts of its participants.
We need volunteers to share their experiences and expertise and help everyone
become a more enlightened and effective Ex Libris product user.
