Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine was (and continues to be) a pleasure and a fun group to work with! We are excited to have them as a partner. I wanted to share a special shout out to Lara, their Electronic Resources Librarian, who knew the nitty gritty of their previous ILS, which made the migration process that much easier."
