Dear Colleague,

For the past two months, Richard has been in a fury of creativity. During the period March 10-May 19, 2020, we've produced and distributed 109 issues of the Library of Social Science Newsletter. We now are recollecting in tranquility and have created a list of recently published Newsletters directly below. Please review this list of LSS Newsletters. Have you read all of them? Do you need a copy?

At the present time, unfortunately, these issues do not have a permanent resting place on the web. So if you'd like to receive an issue that you've misplaced--or that you'd like to read again--write to me at mhgs@libraryofsocialscience and Ill be happy to send you a copy.
