Hi,
Not sure if this has already been kicked around or not. There is an html
version:
http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/features
Not sure if it's the exact same thing, but at least some of the feature
articles are reproduced there.
Alternatively, here's a pdf of the issue:
http://bit.ly/amlibsupp-mayjune2012
But I agree about using HTML. The viewer is slick, but usability has to
trump that. There's language on the press release that says the document
is also available as a pdf, but it doesn't link to that pdf.
Anyway, hope this helps someone.
