Spring workshop Recaps

Each campus has it’s own space to post Questions/Action Items in Basecamp:

• Merced

• Berkeley

• San Francisco

• San Diego

• UCLA

• UCSB & UCD

• UCI, UCR, UCSC

1. Send titles for search demos to EXL trainer and copy Marci.Deignan@exlibrisgroup.com by Wednesday, EOD, before your training. These titles should be relevant to your collection. This is an opportunity to guide the search demos and have more robust search results that are a better match for your environment.

Trainers:

• UCLA - Jessica Alverson Jessica.Alverson@exlibrisgroup.com

• San Diego - Jenny Draeger (Jenny.Draeger@exlibrisgroup.com)

• UCSB and UCD - Jenny Draeger

• UCSC, UCR, and UCI - Carolyn Sprague Carolyn.Sprague@exlibrisgroup.com

• CDL - our project team

• Primo VE - Carolyn Sprague

• Analytics - TBD

EXL will send out a reminder to the trainers to be sure to be logged in at least 5 mins early for every session (earlier for the first one on Mondays).

• Share with IT: log into first Monday session ~10 mins early to intro w/ trainer before overview begins

1. Workflows/scenarios -- don't send these to your trainer. Submit to the EXL project team via Basecamp as soon as you have a question about a workflow (don’t wait!)

   1. Post in the Message Board in Basecamp and tag with Workflow category or indicate that it’s a workflow question in the title so EXL can find it. 

   2. Ex. this is what we’re trying to do, this is what we do in our system now, how would we do this in Alma? If you're stuck, have something in mind but don't know where to start, or need assistance, post it in the message board. 

   3. It will get passed onto the training person as appropriate, but workflow questions/issues are for the EXL project team.
