Shout Out (n.) Informal. A message of congratulation, support, or appreciation.

Lisa Lindsey Headstream, Cody Hackett, and Judy Robinson of Serials sent a shout out to David Boddie, Brian Curtis, and Matthew Kelly “for getting the standing workstations into place for eSerials.  We are so grateful and appreciate all the work that went into making the workspaces comfortable and functional.  You guys did it with such a nice flair.   I personally love my new workspace.  It has really improved my productivity, being able to stand really helps when I’m sleepy or sore! I realize these workspaces were not so easily adjusted so double thanks are in order.  So THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!  You really made our day!”
