Lastly, for III libraries using SkyRiver, the registration for the SkyRiver Users Group meeting (concurrent with registration for the Innovative Users Group conference) is now open athttp://innovativeusers.org/.

-We apologize for the extra steps.  If you have problems registering, please don't hesitate to contact Kathy O'Gorman at kathy@innovativeusers.org.
