To celebrate the Ruth Lilly Medical Library Makerspace’s first anniversary, RLML Makerspace staff have partnered with Virtual Reality specialists from across the IUPUI campus to provide IU School of Medicine students, faculty, and staff with a hands-on VR experience in the Medical Library on May 19!
