Suggested Readings

One of the functions of INPIM is to serve as a clearinghouse of information about PIM. Please send us copies of reports which you feel could be useful to other members, and we will announce the titles in this column. Unless otherwise noted, single copies of the following papers (not books) are available free to INPIM members upon request to the INPIM Coordinator. This service is one of the benefits of membership and you are invited to take advantage of it!

Share those papers...

To paraphrase former US President John F. Kennedy, "Ask not what INPIM can do for you; ask what you can do for INPIM." Have YOU sent us copies of reports or articles that you have written, and that others might be interested in? If you can also send the electronic file (via disk or email) and if there are no copyright restrictions, we will also consider adding your documents to the web site (www.inpim.org). Thanks for sharing; we look forward to receiving your materials in time for the next Newsletter.
