New Users Group

[Claudia Holland]

Hello all BibApp users,

I have taken the liberty of spearheading a BibApp Users Group (bibap...@googlegroups.com), which I hope anyone using or interested in using BibApp will consider joining. The current Google group tends to discuss development aspects of BibApp, whereas the Users Group will focus more on, obviously, the user experience.

In addition to creating and populating profiles, the Users Group will discuss and document ways BibApp may be fine tuned to address current challenges with and features desired in the software, among other topics. It is anticipated the Users Group will work closely with BibApp developers to address or implement some of the ideas expressed. Having said that, I'm not sure what the long-term plan is for sustainability of BibApp at the UofI.

Please join those of us who are going to ACRL in Indianapolis next week for an initial f2f gathering. We will be meeting at Tastings, a wine bar near the Convention Center, on Wednesday, April 10, at 6:30. We can't reserve a table but just ask the hostess where we're sitting. She will have my name (Claudia Holland). To date, I have 7 or 8 people who may come. Feel free to forward this invitation to anyone else you know who's using BibApp and might be interested in participating, even if they aren't going to ACRL.

I look forward to meeting you and working with you on BibApp! Please let me know if you have any questions about next week's gathering.

Best,

Claudia Holland

Hi, Claudia. We do already have a bibapp-dev Google Group intended to funnel the tech traffic away from the main users list. I think we, well I know *I*, have been lazy and remiss in sticking to that plan. On the other hand, there just has never been much traffic on the lists period. 

I don't want to dissuade you from your idea and I hope that you're more successful at engendering discussion. That said, we sure don't need 3 lists so either we reup on our original plan or we deprecate bibapp-dev and follow your plan.

Jason
