General Brochure

The DDI Alliance has produced a brochure to be used in promoting the DDI initiative. A product of the DDI Usability and Outreach Working Group, the trifold brochure is in 8-1/2 by 11 format and is targeted at a general audience to raise awareness of the DDI project. To order print copies for distribution, please contact ddi@ddialliance.org.

The first issue of the DDI newsletter called DDI Directions is now available for download as a PDF file. The quarterly newsletter provides information and updates on DDI activities throughout the year, and suggestions for content can be sent to Mary Vardigan, DDI Alliance Director, at vardigan@umich.edu.
