INUG (IGeLU INternational User Groups)

  • IGeLU har ett nära samarbete med nationella och regionala användargrupper i syfte att utbyta kunskap, kompetens och erfarenheter. Möten mellan företrädare för de olika nationella användargrupperna, IGeLU:s styrelse, PWG-samordnare, representanter från ELUNAs styrelse och Ex Libris ledning äger rum varje år vid den årliga konferensen IGeLU. Dessa möten kallas INUG.
  • ELUGswes styrelse skickar varje år in en rapport inför INUG-mötena där föreningens aktiviteter under det senaste året beskrivs och där särskilda frågor och farhågor kan lyftas fram.
  • Äldre rapporter finns på IGELU National & Regional User Groups.

Annual Report

  • To keep in touch with IGeLU and other user groups.

At the meeting we also talked about the export of e-resources from Alma to Libris. We also talked about the Network Zone – The Bibsam package, collaboration around this within Sweden. Another subject was “Mobile App – how did it go?” with Mälardalen University Library. Alma new interface was presented by Maud Arnaud, Senior Solutions Expert, PreSales EMEA ExLibris. KnowledgeBases in a future perspective was presented by Osnat Vilenchik, VP Content Operations, ExLibris. And a presentation of Rialto by Linnaeus University Library.
