.The AspenCat team is excited to post the schedule for recurring office hours each month. 
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
Online Engagement Matters! Boost it Using Zoom’s Annotation Tool
In an age of remote meetings, trainings, and webinars, it’s easy for participants to slip into passive mode—camera off, mic muted, multitasking in the background. Meaningful online engagement is not just a “nice to have”—it’s essential. [Read more…]

CLiC’s Virtual E-Resources Conference Series next session is October 28th, 2025 with an hour of multiple sessions that’ll energize you to spotlight your e-resources!
This is a time for libraries and vendors to come together to learn from one another and share knowledge.
As libraries, we spend a lot of money on electronic resources. It can be a challenge to promote and display these in our print-centric organizations. This exciting session marks the start of a year dedicated to exploring new and creative ways to showcase your e-resources.
What will you learn?
1. How to use products in practical ways, not just features. Real-world examples.
We have all sat through how-to demonstrations, showing the functions of a database or other e-resource. These are NOT those kinds of sessions!
2. How to promote electronic resources.
We have all used the traditional approach of creating or using vendor-produced bookmarks and flyers. Those certainly have their place, but only go so far.
Discover creative ways to highlight e-resources that go beyond the usual bookmark!
3. How to set up electronic resources on a library website to promote discoverability.
With so many products to manage and to serve up to our communities, we often resort to A-Z lists of e-resources. This approach only works if the patron/student knows exactly what they’re looking for. Discover how to optimize your website to better highlight and promote your e-resources.
