Forwarding on behalf of Shelley. At UW-Madison we have had very productive conversations with Ex Libris development staff at other conferences to work through how our locally developed discovery interface works with their Alma publishing processes and APIs. They are engaged with the community and folks using Alma who may be considering discovery interfaces like Blacklight or VUFind should give this consideration.
