Library Vendor Fair: Comments II
• Vendor feedback:– “I very much enjoyed the experience at Olin’s vendor day
and we would certainly love to participate again next year. What was particularly interesting from my stand-point, was the students’ reaction to our technology...” Credo
– “It was great to get a chance to meet with students, faculty, and staff.” Elsevier
– “We had great foot traffic and the students asked thoughtful questions and really showed interest in our resources. I was really glad to be able to speak with them.” Thomson Reuters
