News & Views - 5 editions per year

Over the last two years, we have had a number of comments from readers saying how much they like the style and content of News & Views. We are committed to providing staff, students and external readers with a popular, cost-effective and user-friendly magazine.

It is with this aim in mind that we are considering switching to five editions per year from September 2003, but before any decision are made we are inviting feedback.

Please let us know what you think by emailing Rachael Ellis on r.ellis1@bradford.ac.uk
