••WHAT’S NEW for July

• Fresh SPHCC
  • Guests & Visitors – We welcome you to this Highlights section of our newsletter. Be sure to take advantage of the Full Text articles contained in this month’s Download section.
    
  • Members:
    Full Text Articles – The check really is in the mail… and access to full text articles really has been arranged. To our chagrin, there are still a couple of technicalities that are holding up implementation.  Although it has been available online, we had been delaying the e-mail notification of this month’s newsletter in hopes of making it the first to feature direct article access.  Next month for sure!
    

• Reading Tips Newsletter (RTN):
  
• Tip#7: Sunday Paper on Saturday? – In many cities, like Atlanta, it is actually possible to buy your Sunday paper (with all the great ads and comics) on Saturday.  It just takes a little more initiative and effort on my part to roll down my car window and purchase one on the way home instead of waiting for delivery to my front door.  The same is true of the RTN.  Be aware that it is usually posted online (via your CRP) before the e-mail announcement goes out. If you are ever wanting an earlier peek at the reviews and are navigating down the Internet, pull over and grab the RTN from your CRP.
