In response to suggestions from the user community, and due to the progress of the URM development, Ex Libris announced at the end of May a change in the structure and work of the URM Focus Groups.
In order to optimize communication the existing four groups and their separate listservs will be consolidated into one. The work of the Focus Groups will be now more interactive, reviewing the actual developments and providing detailed feedback. This new process will start in June, and in Ghent the Focus Group members will meet to discuss the new structure and the progress made up to then.
Besides restructuring the work of the groups, Ex Libris have promised to put together a more active programme of regular customer webinars on the URM which should start later this year.
