  • Before posting your question to Basecamp:

    • First, pose your question to your SILS group. Your group may know the answer.

    • Second, search posts in Basecamp to see if your question has already been answered.

    • Third, search Ex Libris documentation; Google search works well (Ex Libris documentation is indexed by Google.)

    • If your question is not answered in the first three steps, then proceed to post it to the Basecamp message board.

  • Set up your notifications. You may want to consider a daily digest rather than being notified for each new message. Click on your Basecamp avatar in the upper right corner to access notification options.

  • Do not check off “To Do” tasks as “done”. Only Ex Libris project managers should do this.

  • Archive your messages on the message board when they are answered. You will still be able to find archived messages using search.

  • Consider the urgency of your question. Are you asking about something coming in two months or do you have an immediate and urgent need for this information? Ex Libris strives to respond to or acknowledge your post within 1-2 business days.

  • Do not use Pings. Read more about why they are not allowed.

  • Read the "message board rules of the road"
 for more information on using message boards.

  • Administrators reserve the right to remove accounts.

Background

As we enter the full implementation phase, revisit our policy on limiting Basecamp accounts. Consider opening Basecamp on an as-needed basis to local implementation team members and cohort members. Currently, about 65 people have Basecamp accounts.
