10:00 AM - 3:30 PM Central
Hello St. Louis Metro and Southern Illinois IUG Members!
We're excited to share that a new St. Louis Metro / Southern Illinois Innovative Users Group regional is officially getting started, and we'd love for you to be part of it!
We have a date and a place! Our first regional meeting will be held:
Tuesday, October 20, 2026
St. Louis Public Library - Central Library
1301 Olive St
St. Louis, MO 63103
Clarivate will be joining us to share product updates, present a brief roadmap, answer questions, and support this new effort in regional collaboration. We'll also set aside time to talk through plans for future meetups (how often we should gather, which topics matter most, and how to keep the momentum going).
Based on what's already come in, the agenda is starting to take shape around topics like:
• Polaris reporting and data (series gap reports, circulation and notice reports, collection age, and more)
• Polaris development and roadmap (the Serials module, custom development requests)
• Integrations and ordering (EDI for EBSCO and other vendors, EDI ordering through Ingram on LEAP, ILL to OCLC)
• Vega Discover (the rollup display of common titles and cataloging)
• Record cleanup and LEAP workflow tips
• Peer swaps (training show-and-tell, technology support programs, data tracking, and how other libraries handle hosting)
One member has also offered to share a short update on Illinois HB5236 (the Digital Library Protection Act around e-book pricing equity).
Please take a moment to register so we know to expect you. The form is quick, and it's where you can note any dietary restrictions (Clarivate is providing refreshments and lunch), add questions for the Clarivate team, or share a topic or presentation idea. Already submitted something in the earlier questionnaire? It's locked in, so this is just about confirming your spot and adding anything new.
We'll reach out closer to the event about dietary restrictions so we can plan the food accordingly.
We're excited to get this group off the ground!
