• The troubleshooting office hour sessions are meant to allow attendees to get real time, hands on help from ExLibris representatives, fellow colleagues with expertise in various fields, or through conversations with other eCaug attendees. These are NOT roundtable/presentation/workshop type sessions. Please come prepared with your questions!  You may also help our facilitators prepare effectively by adding any questions you have about Ex Libris products to this spreadsheet.
