Bliv klogere med ExLibris Knowledge Days
- Knut Anton Bøckman
Ved deres Knowledge Days tilbyder ExLibris mere dybtgående undervisning i brug af deres systemer. Som regel afholdes de i forlængelse af brugercommunity'ets årlige konferencer (ELUNA og IGeLU). Men som det meste andet for tiden foregår det online. De er i gang nu, og det er gratis at deltage. Benyt denne chance til at lære fra ExLibris' eksperter, og stille spørgsmål.
Hver session afholdes to gange; derefter er optagelse og dokumenter tilgængelig her på Knowledge Center.
