Benefits of an ELUNA Rialto WG to the ELUNA User Community
There are many benefits that the Rialto Working Group will provide to the user community. The Rialto mailing list is a valuable resource for users of the product through its ability to help share ideas, issues, and workarounds that have been identified. The Rialto WG will coordinate a new enhancement process with Ex Libris. The joint group also develops sessions of interest at the annual ELUNA conferences. They will communicate with other WG’s that have an impact on Rialto, such as the Content WG, Alma, Analytics, and Interoperability Working Groups. The WG will communicate directly with Ex Libris management to share and communicate issues of interest to the ELUNA community.
