Responses • “Thank you so much for arranging the elluminate session for the Brown Bag Lunch.  I truly appreciate you!  The session was very beneficial for me...” -LIS Graduate Student • “I can't believe it has taken me until almost 4pm to send you all a big thank you for last evening's Elluminate Library Orientation session.  While we maybe didn't have the turnout we anticipated, it was a terrific first run.  And I ended up enjoying the experience enormously - it was my first time actually using Elluminate (vs. training on it), and it was great to participate in the session while sitting in my kitchen munching apples and cheese!    I am hoping we can do this again in the future for our ODC students ...” -Administrator and Faculty Member, Bryan School of Business and Economics
