Good morning DC RUG community, 

I am pleased to announce our new co-chair for the DC Regional User Group (DC RUG) - Mary Beth Holm, Electronic Resources Librarian, Virginia Commonwealth University. Mary Beth's term is for the 2024-2025 period. 

Additionally, I want to thank Jacqueline Saavedra for her years of service to DC RUG as co-chair. Her efforts and dedication are greatly appreciated. 


Following the DC RUG meeting at ELUNA 2024, Mary Beth and I met to review the feedback/ideas raised during the session. These topics will be our focus as co-chairs for the next 12 months:


As such, we'd like to get your preferences for the 2024 DC RUG annual meeting. If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey: https://forms.gle/RDP7mv1dWEf7cbK89

We ask that responses be in by COB Friday, June 14. Everyone's input is much appreciated. 

Lastly, if you have thoughts or ideas about the naming of our regional user group, we ask that you reply directly to Shane (shickey@american.edu) and Mary Beth (holmm@vcu.edu).


Happy weekend, 


Shane Hickey
