Dear MRDS Members and Friends, I am glad to report that I have completed the Fall 2013 MRDS Newsletter – just in time for Winter. I have made two changes to it. First, I have not broken it into small parts; instead, I have presented it as one full document, suitable for printing or for downloading to your computer or e-reader. Second, I have made a second version of it in a larger font (for those of us with weary eyes): there is a more relaxed feel to the document, though it takes up twice as many pages. I hope that you will find these changes suitable. You may find the compact version at http://mrds.eserver.org/mrds-newsletter/fall-2013-mrds-newsletter/fall-2013-mrds-newsletter, and the larger format version at http://mrds.eserver.org/mrds-newsletter/fall-2013-mrds-newsletter/fall-2013-mrds-newsletter-1. I have also revised the Spring 2013 Newsletter. I had left it incomplete in May. Though it may have been a useful document for participants at the Medieval Congress, it was missing the Bibliography section. Now this is section and a couple more are included. I also created this document in the two formats named above. You may find the compact version at http://mrds.eserver.org/mrds-newsletter/spring-2013-mrds-newsletter-updated-edition/spring-2013-mrds-newsletter, and the larger format version at http://mrds.eserver.org/mrds-newsletter/spring-2013-mrds-newsletter-updated-edition/spring-2013-mrds-newsletter-1. Thanks to all for your contributions, suggestions, and support. Happy Holidays. Gerard -- Gerard P.
