If you want to make suggestions, please use this form: Thank you so much for your interest and your input. If you have any further questions, please let us know. You can send your questions to Karin.beck@lehman.cuny.edu.

Working in conjunction with several CUNY libraries, the new version will provide enhanced services, user experience improvements, and better follow up features while still providing the same 24-7 chat coverage enjoyed in the past. The new software provides the option of creating a public knowledge base, which the Library will use to better share information about its services and events with the campus community.
