Are there any new services or journals planned for specific groups within the APS?
A One APS Division has expressed some dissatisfaction with the major journal that they were using for publication. So we are looking into setting up an all-electronic journal to serve that community. The preliminary outline of what that could involve has been sent to the division for discussion. That initiative has stimulated us to think about the way electronic journals can be used for our diverse communities. We feel that the use of all-electronic journals will greatly increase our ability to address the needs of special groups within the Society, and to expand our journal offerings without having to burden the libraries with large numbers of new paper journals. So we’re excited about the prospect of doing something in this area.
