Dear Lehigh students, faculty, and staff:
Library and Technology Services (LTS) is pleased to announce that Self-Service Banner 9 (SSB9) will be available to the Lehigh community beginning Monday, October 31. SSB9 brings a refreshed, more modern and mobile-friendly design to the Banner Self-Service interface with simplified navigation.
