One More LibConnect New Features Webinar!

May 31, 2022 | By Talia

Blurg, Internet issues happen – and usually, right before a webinar you’re set to deliver. Right?! Alas, this is exactly what happened to Springy Talia just minutes before her LibConnect: New Features webinar last week. She had to postpone, but rescheduling it for the Friday right before the long Memorial Day weekend was not the best idea. Let’s blame a lack of coffee for that decision! So, we’re scheduling one last…

April 30th marked the 15th anniversary of the first LibGuides install! That’s right, if LibGuides were a person, it would be eligible for a learner’s permit in many states.
