IUG report - Nancy Laverdiere

IUG will host its Informational Webinar April 13, 2012, 10:00-11:30am. The webinar will include Update on IUG and I-Share Team Activities; I-Share/Voyager Information; and Documentation (Where do I find...?)
I-Share Systems and Future Developments. The webinar will also discuss how librarians and IUG share information.
IUG is considering holding an in-person liaison forum in 2013.
Members of IUG will give a presentation entitled “The Consortium as a Cloud” at the ELUNA 2012 conference to be held in Salt Lake City, Utah, May 8-11, 2012. The presentation will provide insight into the ways that libraries and library staff support their own autonomy while collaborating towards the growth and development of their systems. The presenters will identify potential opportunities and challenges to working in the cloud environment (consortial holdings), and will demonstrate how the partnerships available in the cloud offer advantages for both consistent service to our patrons and for innovation.
