Re: [IUG] The SkyRiver

[Nancy Fleck <fleckn at mail dot lib dot msu dot edu>]

I haven't gotten into SkyRiver much on the IUG listserv because I am not
sure that it is quite appropriate. After all, SkyRiver is owned by Jerry
Kline but is a separate company. I am happy to answer any questions you
might have, or please come to the IUG session on Tuesday morning about the
MSU experience of moving to SkyRiver. If you can't attend IUG, let me know
if you want to talk or I will just answer questions to the folks who want to
know.
