The Winter/Spring 2009 issue of the APLIC Communicator, APLIC’s newsletter, is now available online. There is lots of news from APLIC: an announcement of the 2009 conference, a recap of the discussion about APLIC’s identity and future from last year’s conference, and our new tagline and blog. Enjoy!

Many thanks to my co-editor Laurie Calhoun, and the newsletter contributors (Lori Delaney, Kiet Bang, Joann Donatiello, and Yan Fu).

We’ll use the APLIC Blog to keep our members up to date with the latest about APLIC, libraries, information services, population, reproductive health, and other topics of interest.

The APLIC Blog will supplement our other communication channels: the APLIC Communicator and discussion lists.

You can read the blog on the web, or subscribe to our RSS feed. If you’re not sure what RSS is or how to use it, see this guide from BBC News.

The blog was created by the APLIC Communications Committee (Tara Murray, Kiet Bang, Laurie Calhoun, and Nykia Perez). We’d love to hear what you think! Leave a comment on this post, or email me. If you’re an APLIC member and would like to contribute as a blogger, please let me know.
