Yesterday, I attended the GUGM online conference with my colleagues. GUGM, or Gil User's Group Meeting, is a meeting of the Georgia Interconnected Library consortium. I was able to become acquainted with a new online catalog search option that is currently in beta: Gil Find. It is a really great new interface that allows a more "Google-like" search structure. I found it much more student-friendly than the classic Gil catalog.
I also attended a session about Gil Express, which is the universal borrowing component of USG. I actually learned a lot in that session and got some clarification on some things I've encountered with Gil Express. I usually don't process the callslips for GE, but I do when our regular go-to person is absent.
I also attended two sessions about Ex Libris and Voyager. I found these both dry and not immediately applicable to my daily workflow.
All in all, I'm glad I attended the conference. One of the things I really admire about the library profession is the collaborative nature and resource sharing.
