INSIDE THIS
ISSUE |
Welcome to the final issue of MLS.
Marketing Library Services has been delivering detailed case studies to its subscribers for 35-plus years. Now that promotional work has become so digital, MLS is being combined with Computers in Libraries to round out that magazine’s content and to deliver more value to both MLS and CIL subscribers.
You don’t need to do anything about this change. You’ll automatically get CIL instead, starting in January 2025 and continuing until your MLS subscription was due to end. At that point, you can “renew” by subscribing to CIL, and you’ll get information about that process later.
