March 2005
Welcome to the
Daily Life through History newsletter
"Daily Life is nearly perfect." —Library Journal
This quarterly newsletter is your source for information about the latest enhancements
and updates to Greenwood’s Daily Life Online, the highly acclaimed resource that was named
a 2004 Editors’ Choice by Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin.
In response to feedback from users and librarians, we have renamed the service Daily Life through History, to reflect the comprehensive information it contains and to make it even more user-friendly.
Please note, you are receiving this email as a supplement to your organization’s Greenwood Daily Life Online subscription. If you are not the primary user of this service, please feel free to forward this email to that person—or to any of your colleagues who may be interested in Daily Life through History.
