EPUG-UKI meeting held during IGeLU2022 – had a few follow up actions:
- Documentation – We need to provide specific examples of the difficulties we are having with documentation . Ex Libris are very willing to discuss them with us. We could ask Ex Libris documentation team to join us on one of the Thursday calls to go over issues. Amanda has setup a document for capturing use cases. Could you please add details to the sheet on Google Docs (refer to the email update sent on 04/11/22 for the link).
- New Release Testing – We talked about testing new releases and agreed it would be good to share approaches. Could potentially discuss at the next Monthly Call.
- Content – ExLibris content staff joined the meeting and offered to give us another export of UKI calls relating to Content so we could continue to prioritise. We do have an EPUG content mail list for discussion – and there is a content Basecamp. Do we want to ask for an up to date list?
- Resource Sharing – we discussed the setup for Resource Sharing, RapidILL etc and how complex it can be – just a reminder there is a Basecamp if you are interested and we continue to share knowledge with each other. Let us know if you need an invite.
Other EPUG-UKI news
