This quote appeared on the SAS intranet this past week. To me, it speaks to one of the reasons that SAS Press authors write books. Simply stated, they are trying to help SAS and JMP users. Their books centralize information for users, answer questions that the authors themselves may have had trouble answering, provide examples that will help another SAS user solve a problem and move on.
We often hear feedback from you about how these books have an impact on you. Sometimes this feedback is in the form of a formal review published in a journal. Often, however, this feedback comes in the form of emails that you send us or conversations that you have with SAS Press authors at conferences and events.
Scott Leslie, who has coauthored a chapter in the upcoming book, Analysis of Observational Health Care Data Using SAS(R), offered this comment recently:
. . . just wanted to send a quick note to express how helpful the SAS Press publications have been in our workplace. I have noticed the large increase in publications in all areas (not just statistics) over the past few years. I believe publications keep SAS users engaged with the software and stimulate other uses of SAS.
Wow! Our hope is that SAS Press books help you each and every day.
So, tell us!
How have SAS Press books been helpful to you?
What SAS or JMP information isn’t there that you wish someone would write about?
