Dear EPUG-UKI colleagues,
Registration is now open for this year’s Autumn conference event. This year the event will be split across 2 days, Monday 6th October (1.30-4.30pm) & Tuesday 7th October (9.30am-12.30pm), and will take place remotely via Zoom.
See the event programme below (subject to change):
There is an opportunity to submit questions for Ex Libris & Clarivate colleagues. Please do this by Tuesday 30th September either as part of your registration or by emailing epuguki.secretary@gmail.com.
We are again planning to offer an informal networking session at the end of the conference on Tuesday 7th October. Please let us know in your registration if you’d be interested in joining this.
This is an online event, via a Zoom webinar, and joining details will be mailed out after registering. Feel free to share details of this event within your service/institution – being an online event means colleagues can dip in and out of sessions that are of interest to them. The event will also be recorded and made available shortly afterwards.

Hi all,
We’re pleased to announce the dates for this year’s Autumn conference, which will again take place virtually via Zoom spread over 2 half days:
We’re also looking for potential speakers, so do get in touch if there’s anything you’d like to present on. This can be on anything related to any of the Ex Libris platforms (Alma, Primo, Leganto, RapidILL/Rapido, Rialto). Have you recently implemented a new feature, undertaken a review of a particular system or workflow, or even just figured out how to make a small system change that has had a big impact or you think others might also be struggling with? We’d love to hear about it!
Some suggested areas/topics we’re keen to include sessions on:
Please contact epuguki.secretary@gmail.com if you’d like to present.
We hope to open registration with a draft programme in mid-August.
Kind regards,
Amanda

We’re delighted to announce that registration is now open for the EPUG UKI E-Resources Day, hosted for us at the University of Leicester on Wednesday 4th September. Please register your attendance via the online form (details of location included).
The programme for the day is also available – there’s lots of time scheduled for discussion, so please come prepared to share your own experiences and ask questions. You can also let us know via the registration form if there’s anything else you’d be interested in covering.
The E-Resources Day will be in-person only; we will share updates from the day with the community more widely (as was done for the themed day on alumni and guest access last year). Our October conference will be a hybrid event – more details to come on this!
Many thanks,
Amanda (on behalf of the committee)
