[DCExLIBRIS] Post ELUNA Get Together
by Picken, Suzanne March 24, 2017

March 24, 2017

The DCExLibris RUG is putting together a post-ELUNA meeting! Did you to go to a session (or two) at ELUNA that you would be willing to summarize in a five to ten minute talk? Did you miss ELUNA this year but would love to hear some of the ideas discussed? Were you able to go to ELUNA but had to choose between two sessions in the same time block? We would like to hold an informal, half-day meeting after ELUNA to discuss the new things we have learned and to hear some of the things we missed. For those of you who are or will be migrating to Alma, this is a great opportunity to discuss any Alma related issues as well. If your library would be willing to host this meeting in late May/early June please contact either Suzanne Picken (picken(a)wrlc.org) or Kim Edwards ( kedwar13(a)gmu.edu) Your DCEXLibris Co-Chairs Suzanne Picken Kim Edwards -- Suzanne Picken Integrated Systems Librarian Washington Research Library Consortium 901 Commerce Drive Upper Marlboro, MD 20774 301 390-2039 O 301 390-2020 F WRLC <http://www.wrlc.org>
