Research INKlings goes electronic!

With the July 2001 issue, Research INKlings announces a move to a totally electronic format. The eye-catching salmon pink paper version will become a relic, to be stored in your memory bank alongside carbon paper and yellow "second-sheets." From now on, the monthly newsletter of research funding opportunities and "blurbs" will be delivered simultaneously to everyone with an MUSC e-mail address as a dedicated missive from the Broadcast Mail Manager. The e-mail version will contain headlines that double as hyperlinks to expanded text on-line.

The new electronic delivery approach offers multiple advantages, including (but not limited to): cost savings, rapid delivery, elimination of production lag times, paper-waste reduction, larger audience reach, rapid reader ability to identify items of higher interest, hyperlinks for immediate access to expanded information, and flexibility to save, print and/or forward items of special interest.

In addition to the email headline version, html, text and pdf versions of the Research INKlings will be posted on the Research Web Site http://research.musc.edu/inklings.html. Readers will be able to scan the headlines, browse individual items, and select certain items to print or save, as well as download the entire newsletter and print it to take along as "trip reading".

For any of you with an undeniable longing for the old style print version, we have a special offer! The electronic version of INKlings includes a "click here" feature where you can request a hard copy printed on the familiar salmon pink paper to be delivered by traditional means to your campus mail address. We will manually process these requests when received. We expect that demand will be quite manageable and decrease readily as our readers get accustomed to the convenience and flexibility of electronic receipt. An additional "click here" option encourages you to send us additional feedback or questions.

Thank you for your continued readership! Please do not hesitate to let us know how the Office of Research Development can do a better job of helping you pursue your research objectives.
