The Ex Libris Mid-Atlantic User Group (formally the Mid-Atlantic Voyager Users Group, then Endeavor Mid-Atlantic User Group) is a regional group consisting of users from institutions using Ex Libris, Inc. products (most notably Voyager) in the states of New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New York. We do not limit the group members to these states. Any staff member who uses or comes from an institution that has at the very least a signed a letter of intent with Ex Libris may attend our meetings. We have had visitors at our meetings from adjacent regions where there are other Ex Libris/Voyager User Groups. If you can make it to the meetings, you are welcome.

The Ex Libris Mid-Atlantic Users Meeting is a great opportunity to meet with colleagues in the region and to learn about Ex Libris products from the experts. Information about the various Ex Libris User Groups can be found at: https://support.endinfosys.com/cust/board/regional.html.
