The JLD Times is back
Since the conference in New York last year, the JLD Editorial Committee has been hard at work relaunching our newsletter, the JLD Times. After much discussion, the Committee decided to move a blog format. Check out the new JLD Times at http://jldtimes.blogspot.com/. Click here to read more about the JLD Times.
