Hello Springshare users -

Thanks for taking the time to check out Springy News! This is our 2nd newsletter, so we're making good progress. ;) Since last we spoke, we've spent a lot of time on:

• 
  Springshare booth at ALA
  Preparing for ALA.
  The Summer ALA conference in D.C. was another great success for us! A big thank you! goes out to all our clients who took the time to stop by our booth and say hello. Besides showing our latest features & products, we enjoy going to conferences and tradeshows because it gives us an opportunity to meet & greet with our clients. We are also making plans to have regular user group meetings at ALAs... you'll be hearing more about that in the months ahead. ;)
• Working on important new updates for LibGuides & LibAnswers.
  In total, we introduced over 20 important new features for LibGuides & LibAnswers, making them even more powerful platforms for sharing knowledge and information with your community.
• Focusing on CampusGuides / CommunityGuides features.
  In my humble opinion, the new features represent a game change for Campus/Community Guides.
  
  • The addition of the Assessment / Survey Tool as a standard part of Campus/CommunityGuides makes it a must-have tool for any library doing assessments on services and/or information literacy programs. You can use it for anything from a quick survey of how things are going to in-depth assessment of a resource or service.
  • We are also introducing an optional E-Reserves Module for CampusGuides, so your course reserve readings can now be fully integrated with your research guides. This provides one-stop access to all of the resources your students need for their classes: course guides & reserve materials. They can search the e-reserves area by course or instructor or get quick access via the E-Reserves tab in their course guide!
  As you can tell, I am beyond excited about these new additions. After learning about all of the new things we built in and the special deal that Mazen and the Sales team have put together for you, I think you'll be very excited as well!

So, please check out the great stuff that Anna & Sarah put together for this newsletter. As always, we look forward to hearing from you about this and/or anything related to your experience with Springshare and our products.

Enjoy!

Slaven & the Springshare crew
