This April, WRLC will host a series of in-person Town Hall sessions at six member libraries to discuss how the consortium can continue expanding services that support Alma and the work of library staff across WRLC institutions.
These town halls are an opportunity for WRLC staff and library colleagues to discuss how we can strengthen communication across the consortium, identify ways WRLC can better support member libraries, and learn more about the needs and challenges libraries are experiencing locally.
As part of the conversation, we will briefly introduce Library Open Workflows (LibOW) and explore how it might support shared workflow improvements across WRLC libraries. Many staff already manage complex processes every day, and LibOW may provide a way to transform some of those practices into automated solutions that could benefit colleagues across institutions.
Staff are welcome to attend any one of the six Town Hall sessions, regardless of their home institution. We encourage staff to attend the session that best fits their schedule and to take the opportunity to visit and connect with colleagues at other WRLC libraries if their own institution is not hosting a session.
