EPUG-UKI News & Updates

Dear All

Hope you’re having a great ‘summer’ and have had some break.

We have a few news items for EPUG-UKI. In chronological order…

  • The next EPUG-UKI Sharing of Experience call is next Thursday 17th August If you have anything to raise please add to the agenda. We’d like to cover some EPUG-UKI business at the start if that’s ok.
  • Sheffield Hallam In Person Themed Day – 7th September – Kiosks and E-Resource access for different types of library visitors.
    • Kiosks (how we manage walk in access for our users, particularly visitors, special collections etc) – how are people managing this? What kiosks do you manage? What kiosks do you need?
    • E-Resources –How do you manage a white list for particular sets of users. How do you manage discovery and access?
    • We will have an opening talk from one site both morning and afternoon. We will leave a good part of the day open for discussion.  The main aim of the day is for us to discuss our needs (common or not) and whether we can help share solutions. If you haven’t signed up (30 attendees max)– here’s the link – please sign up on Eventbrite.
  • IGeLU 2023 – Leuven 11th-14th September– still time to sign up for physical or virtual attendance.  Registration closes end of 28th August for physical registration and 6th September for. More details here
  • EPUG-UKI Committee – a reminder that all three postholders (Chair, Secretary and Treasurer and Memberships) have reached the end of term. We are inviting nominations. We already have two names. If you are interested and would like to talk to us, please do. We would ask that we have all interested names by the end of August.
  • EPUG-UKI Autumn Hybrid conference in British Library London – Monday 16th October – we’re actively seeking people to do sessions. Please get in touch if you’d be happy to share experience about any of your work with ExLibris products or integrations.
  • And last – but definitely not the least – we will be losing Abbie from the committee. Abbie is moving jobs so won’t be able to continue.  We send all the best of wishes and a massive thank you to her from the User Group for all the help she has been over the past year and a half.  We know we’ll see her again as the library world is a small and lovely thing.

All the best

Alex
EPUG-UKI Chair
