The Library and Publishing

Committees and groups:

If you have anything you want to publish, there are two choices:

(1) You can supply your work in PDF form and we will put it in the library on this site. You can also upload PDF's to your committee site.

(2) If you choose to publish in paper form, we suggest you use www.instantpublisher.com. We have had great success with them and they are very economical. You will, of course, have to "pass the hat" for publishing funds, but that should not be too expensive for you.
