Hii
i really appreciate the progressing that the library is going through for the RIT students. It will significantly increase the benefit gained from the library. However, I'm a grad student, and i would be so grateful if you informed me about the specialized programs for grad students by e-mail, and when it is held because i came from Saudi Arabia where they don't use the library that much, and i have a serious problem knowing how to use it especially when i'm here as a graduate student.
Thank you so much, and have a great day

If there were any way to enable the NYConnect system with proxy accounts (as the IDS Express system has), it would be a big help to graduate assistants.
Graduate orientations would be a great idea. I started in Winter quarter and the College of Business did a good orientation, but more Library (and campus) information would be a great thing to share with those of us who aren't familiar.
