Hello everyone, Thanks to those who filled out the survey! It has been very helpful in beginning the planning for our next Annual Meeting! The majority of the respondents overwhelmingly requested that the meeting take place in the fall in either September or October. Planning is underway. I will be sending more details in the upcoming weeks to keep you informed. At this point, I would like to ask for specific information with regards to the breakout groups that are planned for the afternoon. Please take a moment or two and think about what topics you would like to a) share with other regional Ex Libris sites and b) what you would like to learn from other regional Ex Libris sites. If you have completed a noteworthy project, or if you are about to embark on one, just let me know and I will try to organize the meeting and breakout groups to help you with your needs. Please reply to me directly from this email, and I can begin to pull some ideas together for the program. Also, as I am currently in touch with Ex Libris for planning the meeting, let me know if there are specific questions you would like Ex Libris to entertain. I know I have been viewing recent webinars on Alma, and I have some questions about the future of Voyager/Aleph and will Alma be the sole product we will be using. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and I look forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting! Best, John John D.
