New Comment Field

You are now able to post comments to any blog item. We hope that you use the comment field as a way to discuss the latest policy issues with NAMSS and with your colleagues nationwide. A link to add comments will appear under each post.We encourage you to post comments, questions, or your personal perspective on issues addressed in the blog.

Please note that all incoming comments will be moderated, so comments that may be disrespectful to others, irrelevant to the issue at hand, or may be misinterpreted as a NAMSS position will not appear on the blog.

New Look

We have also changed the look of the NAMSS Blog to make it easier to read. As always, we welcome any comments, questions, or news tips at news@namss.org.
