Several new books make their debut
Dear Reader,
Last weekend I attended a new movie that I'd been excited about seeing. My husband and I rarely watch movies in theatres, especially since there are more convenient options for viewing. However, movie theatres do have their attractions. Besides offering tasty treats and big screens, they provide the opportunity to collectively experience drama, humor, and even joy with others; an experience that can be entertaining, or even moving, in itself.
For the past several weeks, many SAS users have attended a variety of marquee events to learn more about SAS, as well as to share their expertise with others. Our staff has been busy supporting these events by keeping conference bookshelves stocked with many new titles—and helping customers find exactly what they need.
In this "SAS Book Report," the trend continues. You'll find five new hard copy titles and 15 new eBook offerings, as well as helpful SAS tips, and a special opportunity for instructors teaching SAS.
If you don't find exactly what you're looking for in this issue, we'd like to roll out the proverbial red carpet to help you. Please contact us with your questions and feedback. We look forward to hearing from you!
See you in December,
Shelly Goodin
Editor, SAS Book Report

Wanted: Users of SAS/OR
By Shelley Sessoms
SAS/OR software integrates essential optimization, scheduling, simulation, related modeling and solution capabilities in an adaptable environment. Its powerful set of management science solutions provide companies with the knowledge that they need to identify and optimize business processes and management challenges. SAS/OR software is designed for people with operations research/management science or similar training who are seeking to build and solve decision guidance models.
If you have a strong background in SAS/OR and can provide real-world examples to help users better understand and manipulate this software, let me know. We're looking for authors to write a book on the various aspects of SAS/OR; I'd love to help you get started on your proposal packet.
