Topics or questions for the Ex Libris Support Meeting

12 minutes

Tom / Team

  • Updates from meeting on 12/19/22

    • Suggestion for tickets related to OCLC Tipasa, use the phrase “OCLC Integration” in the subject line

      • may provide a more immediate response

      • Side note: Tipasa is still in the testing phase and not being paid for yet.

    • ExL would like more communication from us to them, in addition to our request to have more communication from them

    • Primary ticket response is an automatic one which states a generic completion date

      • This is understandably considered frustrating by ticket creators

    • Tickets are still being closed when a fix is not planned/possible

      • features continue to appear available despite no planned/possible fix for issues

      • response is not consistent across tickets in the consortium - similar tickets are closed and some continue to be worked upon

    • Request made to ExL that consortium members should be able to examine/compare similar tickets in the consortium

  • Additional topics discussed in previous agenda topic above

  • Next support meeting will include new ExL representative

    • send notes to Caitlin, Tom, and Jackie on tickets to keep track of
