Ask The Board

The board would like to hear your feedback on the directory CDs published last term.  This is the first time we have published and distributed the directory in PDF format which is significantly less expensive than a paper copy.  At the same time, we have also gone to an online directory which is as up-to-date as each individual brat keeps it and is available 24/7.  To put it another way, as soon as we dump the database and burn to CD, it's out of date!

I refer to my directory on a fairly regular basis and if I can download the online directory, I would like that, if not then wouldl prefer a CD.

Being that I am in KSA it is nice to have it in PDF format. People here are not always connected like you folks in the states. I get request from Brats and people looking for Brats all the time, so being able to send them the Directory in PDF is a good thing for me. That said I am not so sure that I need to have a disk as long as I have it in PDF so I can burn it or e-mail it to folks here. I am good with what ever you decide.

Forsure

On-line as a PDF makes the most sense as long as it is sortable.

The idea of a directory in pdf format absolutely makes sense.  Especially since most people nowadays have a computer or access to one and it is not difficult to access or dwnld... Great idea and it probably leaves a little left-overs for fun Brat extras too!
