AspenCat Office Hours Schedule

The AspenCat team is excited to post the schedule for recurring office hours each month.  Open Office Hours

This time will allow libraries to drop into a zoom meeting with whatever questions they have.  While we still want the majority of issues to go through submitting a ticket to ensure the timeliest response, there are just some things that are better discussed than written.  With zoom, we also have the ability to do screen sharing as well.  Please feel free to drop by during any of our office hour times that will be held 3 days a month, every month.  If these times don’t work well, just put in a ticket and we can meet on your schedule.

2nd Thursday of the month @1pm          Zoom Link

3rd Tuesday of the month @11am           Zoom Link

4th Wednesday of the month @12pm     Zoom Link
