About
IGeLU Esploro Working Group has been created to represent members of the IGeLU Community who use the Ex Libris Esploro product. The IGeLU Esploro Working Group works in partnership with their ELUNA counterpart. Contact the chair at esploro@igelu.org.
What We Do
Community Enhancement Requests and Voting Process (CERV): The CERV process is an agreement between the IGeLU and ELUNA communities and ExLibris to develop the enhancements that have been voted for by the community within 12 months. Esploro, as a new product, has been allocated 50 development points. In 2025 Esploro will undertake a full round of voting using the Enhancement Portal for submission of enhancements and voting will be undertaken in Voting Portal.
The Steering committee has provided a guide for submitting an enhancement request.
Please continue to submit your ideas to:
- the Esploro IdeaExchange, managed by Ex Libris
- or develop a Cloud App! and share it with the Esploro community.
Community Outreach: The ELUNA and IGeLU Working Groups are collaborating to host “Community Conversations“. Most of the meetings have been recorded.
Surveying the Community:
Community Knowledge: Because Ex Libris does not currently provide a place to contribute community knowledge, the Working Group can, by request, add helpful content.
