> > But many users prefer email so we have created an email newsletter

> > ID21NEWS brings you regular updates of the latest research findings
> > which have been added to the ID21 collection. A short summary tells
> > you about each study and a clickable web-link takes you directly to
> > the full text of the digest on the web, thereby saving you from
> > navigating a series of web pages. We are currently developing a
> > system to enable you to request each digest automatically via email.
> > This should become available later this year.
