Dear Readers,<\/p>\nDear Readers,<\/p>\n

(Find past issues\u00a0here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Did you know that ATA membership has something in common with Microsoft Office? It comes with many more features than you are probably aware of.<\/p>\n I recently had a conversation with a former ATA Board member about communicating with the membership. She told me: \u201cIt\u2019s frustrating when you hear, \u2018I wish ATA was on Twitter.\u2019 When ATA IS<\/strong>\u00a0on Twitter.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s an ongoing discussion within ATA. How can we communicate better and reach more members? ATA communicates via many channels: The ATA Chronicle<\/em>, ATA Newsbriefs, the ATA website and social media. We know we can\u2019t reach everyone, but that doesn\u2019t mean we shouldn\u2019t try. That conversation sparked the idea for this Summer 2016 issue of interakiv<\/em> \u2013 the \u201cDid You Know\u201d issue. Though the GLD newsletter has always been a communications medium, this is the first issue to feature a number of ATA member benefits. So don\u2019t miss a page \u2013 you might learn something new!<\/p>\n In this issue…<\/strong><\/p>\n Happy reading!<\/p>\n Mit besten Gr\u00fc\u00dfen aus Bonn<\/p>\n Matt Baird<\/p>\n Acknowledgements<\/strong><\/p>\n A very special thank you to our contributing authors – Michael Engley, Melissa Field, Ruth Boggs, Karen Leube, Carlie Sitzmann, Molly Yurick, Stephanie Tramdack Cash, Madalena S\u00e1nchez Zampaulo, Katja Althoff, Nina Sattler-Hovdar, and Roland Grefer.<\/p>\n Big thanks to our designer, Katrin Rippel, and the\u00a0rest of my\u00a0editorial team: Lea Rennert, Kim Scherer, Ute Kegel, Michael Engley and Susan Starling.
