this grant will facilitate," said Clive Parry, Global Marketing Director,
SAGE. "We were delighted to see so much enthusiasm for greater connections
between librarians and publishers in developing user-centric content
delivery solutions for the future, and look forward to hearing Patrick's
views from the conference."

Subject: Taylor & Francis Online - Launch date

Dear Serialst,

Taylor & Francis' new online platform, Taylor & Francis Online,
www.tandfonline.com, will replace access to the 1,600 Journals and Reference
Works currently on informaworld.

LAUNCH DATE
We are now able to confirm that Taylor & Francis Online will be live from 27th
June 2011. We are currently in the advanced stages of testing and plan to
migrate from informaworld to Taylor & Francis Online over the course of the
weekend beginning 25th June 2011. During this period your users will still be
able to access content as normal as we gradually redirect from informaworld
to Taylor & Francis Online. The new site will then be live from 27th June.

You will still be able to access your Abstracting & Indexing and Bibliographic
databases on informaworld as normal, and we will send you notice once we
are ready to move these to Taylor & Francis Online.

GETTING STARTED
We recommend that you log in and familiarize yourself with the My Account
area soon after go-live. To log in, use the email address and password
associated with your institutionÿÿs informaworld account.

As part of the move to Taylor & Francis Online we have rationalized the way in
which our institutional customers administer their accounts. This will give you
greater control over who can access usage statistics and manage
authentication on behalf of your institution. Any institutional customer whose
email address is currently attached to an account on informaworld with an IP
address will be the designated administrator at launch.

If you have problems logging in to your institutionÿÿs account please either
contact your institution's administrator, who can set you up with
administrative access, or get in touch with our support desk who will be
delighted to assist at: support@tandfonline.com

We have provided a handy tick-list of things that you can do before and after
go-live to ensure the migration runs smoothly for your library. This is available
at: http://resources.tandfonline.com/documents/library-checklist.pdf

TRAINING
We now have online tutorials of the site as well as print training resources for
you and your library users. There are over 35 online demonstrations guiding
you through the features of the new website. They can now be found at
http://resources.tandfonline.com/tutorials/. These are copyright-cleared and
we are happy for you to use these in library demonstrations.

We will also be scheduling webinar demonstrations of the site post launch.

If you are going to be at a library conference, do make sure you call at our
stand where our sales staff will be able to help you with questions you have
about the new platform. You can see where we will be exhibiting at:
http://www.tandf.co.uk/libsite/conferences/

STAYING IN TOUCH
Keep up to date with the latest news by following our developments on
Twitter @TandFOnline.

Our dedicated resources website at http://resources.tandfonline.com provides
you not only with downloadable training but also promotional resources for
your library and a launch checklist; a quick-reference to some actions you
might want to take so the transition is as smooth as possible for you and your
users.

If you have any questions about the migration, please take a look at our
updated FAQ document http://resources.tandfonline.com/documents/library-
faqs.pdf. Otherwise you can contact our dedicated support team at
support@tandfonline.com. They will be delighted to assist.

         AIP Celebrates First Anniversary of its Beijing Office with
                   Release of New Chinese-Language Website

Melville, NY, June 17, 2011 - AIP Publishing, a division of the American
Institute of Physics (AIP), is celebrating the one-year anniversary of the
opening of its Beijing office. To mark the occasion, AIP has launched a
Chinese-language version of its website (http://china.aip.org), which
gives Chinese researchers access to critical information about AIP in
their own language. The site mirrors much of the content found on the
English-language website, including links to AIP journals and conference
proceedings, and to information on how authors can submit their
manuscripts.

"Our first year in Beijing has been a busy and rewarding one, and the
launch of our new Chinese-language website is the ideal way to mark the
occasion," said John Haynes, vice president of publishing at AIP. "With
all the excellent research being published in China right now, we
certainly feel that we made the right decision to locate our first
international office in Beijing."

AIP points to a number of accomplishments they have made since opening the
doors to their new office in 2010. In June 2010, AIP signed a new
content-sharing agreement between its flagship magazine, Physics Today,
and Wuli, a leading physics magazine published by the Chinese Physical
Society. In December of that year, AIP spearheaded the establishment of
China's first Society of Physics Students chapter, and in February of
2011, entered into a partnership with the Chinese Society of Theoretical
and Applied Mechanics to publish its newest journal, Theoretical and
Applied Mechanics Letters, on behalf of the society. Then, this past
March, AIP signed an agreement with Edanz Group Ltd, which makes it easier
and more cost-effective for AIP authors in China to use Edanz's
English-language editing services.

"Throughout the past year, we've had the pleasure of engaging and
collaborating with the Chinese scientific community on many levels," said
Mark Cassar, publisher, AIP journals. "Opening our Beijing office
demonstrated AIP's commitment to supporting the vital research Chinese
scientists are conducting today, and with the launch of this new website,
we've taken our relationship with this important community to the next
level."

About AIP
The American Institute of Physics is an organization of 10 physical
science societies, representing more than 135,000 scientists, engineers,
and educators and is one of the world's largest publishers of scientific
information in physics. AIP pursues innovation in electronic publishing of
scholarly journals and offers full-solution publishing services for its
Member Societies. AIP publishes 13 journals; two magazines, including its
flagship publication Physics Today; and the AIP Conference Proceedings
series.
