The MAPPS Newsletter will be distributed in the Adobe Portable Document Format (.pdf). This is a very common and widely used format - and the software is free. If you click on the MAPPS newsletter link (from main page), the file should open automatically. If it doesn't, that means that you either don't have Adobe Reader or perhaps you have an old version. If so, follow this link for instructions on how to download and install this free software:

If you have any problems, please contact Brian Needelman (301-405-8227; bneed@umd.edu) for assistance or for a hardcopy of the newsletter.
