Upcoming Meetings & Due Dates:

  *   There are no meetings this week other than the Q&A meetings with Ex Libris.
  *   The Authentication form and Configuration form draft are both due July 31. Final version isn't due until 8/23.





Configuration Forms:

  *   Ex Libris has posted corrected versions of forms. Make sure you are working with the most recent one.
  *   Tips and FAQ's to help with filling out these forms are on the OPAL Alma/Ex Libris Migration website under Configuration Form<https://info.opal-libraries.org/alma/configuration>.
  *   If you've sent us forms to review, thank you! We'll get back to you on those Tuesday when we return to the office.



Training:

  *   There is no new training recommended while we are filling out the Configuration forms.

  *   If you want to work ahead, the next Ex Libris Core Concepts session on August 8 may be of interest to anyone doing cataloging. The focus will be on resource management in Alma:
