This booklet is pretty much a total revamp and update of the previous printed booklet, which is particularly out of date now that we'll be changing to semesters. This time, we plan on only having a digital version, and do not plan on producing printed booklets at all. It is simply not worth the cost - booklets are extremely expensive to produce, and many of them just end up in the garbage (or, hopefully, recycling bins) anyways. Plus, now when we need to update the information, all we need to do is change out a digital slide; gone are the days where hundreds of booklets become kindling because they are out of date practically as soon as they are printed.
It's probably not possible to get away from physical promotional materials entirely - everybody likes to have a takeaway of some sort - so I'm still hard at work at an undergraduate information brochure that then directs readers to the online slideshow for detailed information. This should be incredibly less wasteful and significantly less expensive than the booklets. Stay tuned for this release, though it may still be a while.
Meanwhile, I had to tinker around with a number of different viewer codes in order to create a simple slideshow display for the booklet. Hopefully the fruits of my labor give the booklet a little extra pizzazz beyond simply scrolling through a PDF. But, the PDF is still there just in case the slideshow doesn't work.
Enjoy!
