    Structural Engineer Newsletter Issue #25
    A monthly publication of TheStructuralEngineer.info - Center for Integrating Information on Structural Engineering
    July 2009

    Greetings,

    Welcome to another issue of our montly Newsletter. This month we have added more new books published by CRC Press - Taylor & Francis Group in the "New Publications" Section of our Website. Visit our page and take advantage of the 20% discount coupon on structural engineering books.

    We would also like to draw your attention to our newly established Structural Engineering Blogs. To those who have already created their own blog within our community, please try to retain it operational by updating it on a regular basis. For those who haven't started yet, please remember that you are strongly encouraged to do so and share your insights.

    As TheStructuralEngineer.info continues to grow and serves the structural engineering profession of the future, it needs your support now. We all need to play a role in making a real commitment to ensure that the profession continues to develop and flourish.

    Until next month
