I wonder if anyone on this list (which seems to be back to normal!) might be going to the ACS meeting and might wish to post a report which they might consider relevant to the list? I expect the Internet Corral at the ACS will be bigger than ever. But a word of caution! Look at the signature file (they use Eudora). Last year I sent out such a report from Orlando signed as Mickey Mouse!! I myself attended the UK serials group this week. Some interesting trends on e-journals were evident a) Publishers are clustering in order to achieve a critical mass of e-journals, apparently considered to be > 100. b) This cluster is then presented to consortia of Universities in the form of site licenses. The UK has such an agreement with Academic Press, and apparently a good working model is to be found in the State of Ohio in the USA. c) It seems that the chemist might not gain too much, in the sense that the e-journal clusters are not necessarily subject based, but are broad-spectrum. for example, there is not too much chemistry in the AP cluster. d) Its not too obvious to anyone where the small publisher with specialist journals fits in (except the message is, join a consortium!). Also, chemically "enhanced" journals cause publishers problems, since they do not conform to the lowest common denominator of "full text". Finally, on this theme, I wonder if people have any feedback on the new crop of chemistry e-journals, or enhanced journals, 1. Chemical Educator 2. Journal of Molecular Modeling 3. Molecules 4.
