Training:

  *   Library staff not involved in that process might want to review the more general fulfillment (circulation) information assigned last week if they haven't already. Additional advanced topics and exercises are available in Basecamp<https://3.basecamp.com/3765443/buckets/36778639/todos/7238702531>.

General Notes:

  *   Reminder that you do NOT immediately need to fill out the configuration forms once Ex Libris adds those to your folders in Basecamp. OhioNet will do an initial run through of filling out the form and then send it to Project Leads for review and discussion, just as we did with the migration forms.
  *   Meet Your New LSP<https://www.ohiolink.edu/content/meet_your_new_lsp> - Definitions of the new platform components and training resources compiled by the OhioLINK Training and Documentation Working Group.

  *   The Vanguard Libraries panel presentation has been posted to Ostaff webinars page<https://www.ohiolink.edu/webinars>.

Best,
Heidi
