User Group Workspace

Welcome to the Calisphere/Shared DAMS user group workspace. This is a place for anyone in the UC Libraries to collaborate on questions and planning related to Calisphere, the DAMS, and related products.

Notes, agendas, and documents

The group meets on the 4th Wednesday of every other month at 1:00pm. The dates are also posted on our Community Calendar. Want these meetings on your calendar? Email us at oacops@cdlib.org, and we'll send over a recurring calendar appointment.

To facilitate sharing notes, we are utilizing a running notes document. Please "request access" to view the notes, and we'll add you in as an editor.
