LOOP RETURNS TO PRINT IN JANUARY
Dear Readers,
You are reading the last online issue of In the Loop.
Because of your feedback, beginning in January, In the Loop will return to print, in the hold-in-your-hands newsletter format you remember.
An online survey was conducted last winter to gauge reader satisfaction with the online version of the newsletter. The majority of respondents said they preferred to read a print version of the faculty/staff newsletter, and that they read Loop less often in its digital form than they did in print.
Its print format will enable readers to once again peruse the newsletter on their commute, in the cafeteria, or in their office. In the Loop content will remain the same; it will still be chock full of important news, and fun and informative feature stories. It still will be published every two weeks (except during the summer, when it is distributed monthly). And the sections you read most will continue: Academic Accolades, Media Marvels, Loop Listings classifieds, and Secret Lives and Unsung Heroes employee features.
For those of you who enjoy the environmental benefits and convenience of reading Loop online, you can still receive In the Loop digitally. Please contact me at pipitone@simmons.edu to receive a Pdf version of the newsletter via email. And for those of you who enjoyed making submissions and suggestions online, you still will be able to access the Loop Exchange Submission Form.
Additionally, anyone needing to refer to past editions of the online newsletter will be able to access them in the online “archives” section, beginning in January.
Have a festive winter break and a Happy New Year, and we’ll meet again ⎯ in print form ⎯ in January.
