Dear colleagues,   Happy New Year and welcome to the first Infolep newsletter of 2020. 2019 has been a productive year for Infolep.  We launched the new and improved Infolep website. Finding the publications you need has become much easier.  The portal now offers access to over 29,120 publications.  Last year the portal was used by 26,799 visitors from 190 countries. We would like to thank our partners American Leprosy Missions, DAHW, Damien Foundation Belgium, Fairmed, Fontilles, Fondation Raoul Follereau, Lepra, Leprosy Relief Canada and NLR for their continued support. With their help, we can continue to strive for the best possible leprosy information services in 2020! Wishing everyone a peaceful new year! Jiske Erlings Infolep Coordinator j.erlings@infolep.org
