[Lyrarl] Reminder/Update re Harvard U Press eBooks Offer

[Irene Zimmerman]

Hi Celeste,

Please remove me from this list; I have retired.  You may have been 
contacted by Doug Way
who is now in the AUL position for Collection Development 
(dway at library.wisc.edu) to be
added to the list instead.

Thanks
Irene
