Previously, the ASL was only available in PDF, but starting with issue 3/2019, it’s now also available in HTML. This change makes it easier to share articles with others—but more importantly, will make it easier to search for specific topics.
If you don’t’ already receive an ASL e-bulletin notification email, we encourage you to sign-up online.
