Moments from Previous Years

  • The steps taken to address some problems by working in person with LSEs was the highlight.  I enjoyed meeting colleagues from other institutions and learning about their services/resources/problems/etc.  I appreciate how all presenters were very honest about the pros and cons of the new UI.

    2023 User Group Attendee

  • I learned so much! The helpdesk was amazing – the absolute best part of the conference.  Everyone was extremely helpful, and I came back to my library with new tricks and tips to share to make our work easier.
