What to Expect at the User Group
-
The main reason I attended was to ensure that our library was using EDS to its fullest capabilities… Both the workshop and conference helped me fulfill this mission, reassuring me that our library is already using EDS appropriately and effectively but also providing many additional tips and tools to further enhance our services for our campus.

The EBSCO User Group has proven to be an invaluable asset, offering practical insights that have significantly improved how my team and I leverage their tools and products. The opportunity to connect with colleagues at other institutions and tap into their collective wisdom has been equally enriching. Furthermore, the chance to engage directly with the dedicated EBSCO team behind the scenes is always a highlight.
