"At-A-Glance"

Dear Readers and (soon-to-be) Writers of Rome,

Allow us to clarify what we are looking for in a site presentation handout, or what we are now calling "At-A-Glance."

We would like your (unannotated) bibliography, selected images, and major bullet points (not all your own talking points, but the most important names, dates, and themes you want to register with your audience). This information should occupy no more than 2 single-spaced pages. (See the additional technical requirements, below).

Some of you will have to edit down the handouts you've already shown us. You might be able to pare them down by using single-spacing, but avoid having huge blocks of text. Do use spacing to differentiate major blocks of information, and make the reading easier.

The technical:

• MS Word document (no PDFs);
• 2 single-spaced pages;
• 12-point Times New Roman font;
• one-inch margins;
• no page numbers, headers, or footers.

As noted, we'll assemble the handouts into a booklet that all of us will consult on-site during the reports. As such, we might have to do some minor editing; the above technical requirements will hopefully keep that editing to a minimum. Bear in mind that your pages will be shrunk down 25% to fit the booklet format.

Please submit your "At-A-Glance" document no later than Sunday, May 10 (although earlier would be appreciated).

We are excited with how the site presentations are shaping up, and looking forward to hearing them in their full glory while in Rome.
