You are invited to join colleagues in late September for informal reporting on the 2005 North American Aleph Users Group & SFX/MetaLib Users Group meetings [College Park, Maryland, June 5-10].


Come spend 45 minutes, an hour, or more as schedules allow. This is an opportunity to hear more about the ExLibris products now up and running at Five Colleges libraries, and to learn about new versions and future implementations. Several librarians will report informally on the sessions they attended at NAAUG and SMUG. You're invited to share information and to ask questions.


"brown bag" guidelines for this session:

Food is permitted; chairs will be set up audience style in the meeting room. There is space for up to 49 people.

Although renovations on the Main Floor of the library may not yet be complete, a tour will be offered following the brown bag session. Many changes have been made through the development of a new Learning Commons area.

Five College Libraries presenters include:
Linda Matson & Beth Lang (UMass Amherst)
Jane Beebe, Jan Jourdain & Paul Trumble (Amherst College)
