Read all about it -- from the latest/greatest academic handheld devices ("clickers") to the spires of a soon-to-be-completed Linderman Library renovation. What's the common denominator?

One of the most important resources that Library and Technology Services brings to this challenge is expert, motivated staff members. We welcome several new LTS leaders in this issue. This LTS Connection will help you get to know them. Read all about it!
