Dear Reader,

We're faced with an overwhelming number of choices. Some of these options are fun and easy to select such as choosing which flowers to plant, which dessert to order, and which App to download next. Others require a bit more thought.

In this issue of SPN, we too have admittedly provided you with numerous options. Hopefully, however, we've presented these offerings in a way that easily guide you to what you want. This month's content highlights include:

  • Four new SAS® Press books
  • New SAS® documentation
  • SAS® Certification Prep Guides on Amazon’s Kindle
  • SAS® tips
  • A special opportunity for instructors
  • Author recruitment updates
  • An interview with a global marketer


As you explore the many options in this May issue, Emily Dickinson's quotation comes to mind: "A little Madness in the Spring, Is wholesome even for the King". May your month be productive, uncomplicated, and invigorating!

Thank you for reading.

See you in June,

Shelly Goodin
