In 2018, Vanderbilt University migrated from SirsiDynix to Ex Libris Alma, where I played an integral role in the migration process. I was responsible for extracting data from SirsiDynix into a format approved by Ex Libris. Additionally, I have chaired the Alma Systems Committee, overseeing all aspects of Ex Libris at Vanderbilt. Our committee reviews release notes, submits enhancement requests, participates in the voting process, and encourages participation in the ELUNA conference. Several committee members have served in various capacities within different working groups. Personally, I have been part of the Leganto Working Group since 2019, becoming Deputy Coordinator in 2021 and Coordinator in 2023, with my term ending at ELUNA 2025. Locally, I have actively participated in the Ex Libris Bluegrass User Group (eBUG) and have served as its Treasurer since 2019.
