Dear Members:

Please consider submitting a nomination for our most distinguished award: http://www.aseees.org/programs/aseees-prizes/distinguished-contributions-award

Upcoming ASEEES Webinar: Please join us for our next ASEEES webinar, sponsored by CLIR: "The World of LibGuides -- Thinking Beyond Your University," on Wed, Apr 22, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT
LibGuides is a Content Management System used to curate knowledge and share information by creating online Guides on any topic, subject, course, process, etc. Jon Giullian (University of Kansas) and Erik Zitser (Duke University) will teach attendees how LibGuides can be used to save time and effort by enabling content sharing locally and globally (the Springshare community will be highlighted as an example of broader content-sharing).
