ABOUT THE COMMERCIAL DIGEST
SERIALST Commercial Digest pilot project: Since June 2008, the SERIALST
moderators have been experimenting with compiling and distributing a
Commercial Digest once a week, on Friday afternoons, with messages
containing informational content from commercial bodies (i.e.,
publishers, vendors, agents, etc.). The moderators review submitted
messages for informational content that may interest our subscribers.
We reserve the right to reject messages that are purely for advertising
or product/service solicitation, with little or no informational
content beyond the solicitation, as well as other content that are not
within the scope and purpose guidelines of SERIALST
(see: http://www.uvm.edu/~bmaclenn/serialst.html)
If you have thoughts or feedback about the Commercial digest, or other
aspects of SERIALST, please let us hear from you. Contact information
for the SERIALST moderators is at:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 10th 2010, Cambridge, UK &
New York, USA
The Materials Research Society (MRS)
and Cambridge University Press announced today that they have formed an
exciting new publishing partnership to produce MRS’s flagship
publications
– MRS Bulletin, Journal of Materials Research (JMR), MRS
Online
Proceedings Library (OPL) and Materials360® – and to
develop new journals, books and online products encompassing the full
range
of materials science and engineering.
MRS Bulletin, currently
celebrating its 35th anniversary, is one of the most widely recognized
and highly respected publications in advanced materials research, with
an impact factor of 5.29 for 2008. It is published monthly and features
technical theme topics that capture the interdisciplinary nature of
materials
science and innovation. These coordinated collections of articles,
written
by experts in the field, disseminate state-of-the-art materials
research
understandable to a broad scientific audience.
Journal of Materials Research,
celebrating
its 25th year, is a premier archival journal devoted to original
research encompassing all aspects of materials science. Edited by
renowned
materials scientists from the world’s most respected research
facilities,
it contains archival papers, communications and reviews.
The MRS Online Proceedings
Library
offers unlimited full-text availability to over 65,000 papers
from
the well-recognized MRS Symposium Proceedings Series – proceedings
published
from Volume 1 to the present, with more added daily. The collection
also
includes over 5,000 proceedings papers that were never published in
print
format and are available only online.
Materials360®, now in
its 10th year, is a semi-monthly electronic newsletter encapsulating
current
happenings in materials research, providing insight into the rapidly
changing
world of materials. It reaches over 85,000 readers worldwide with
research
alerts and news from the global materials enterprise.
Together, Cambridge and MRS will bring
a comprehensive approach to developing the entire portfolio of MRS
publications
in terms of scope, reach and impact. The journals will be hosted on
Cambridge’s
cutting-edge electronic platform, Cambridge Journals Online (http://journals.cambridge.org),
and will include increased usability, increased functionality and many
new features to enhance and optimize article usage. MRS and Cambridge
will
also explore development of a wide range of new journals and books.
“This historic partnership marks
a new era for MRS,” explains David Ginley, President of the
Materials
Research Society. “MRS is a leader in delivering innovative
materials
research through its meetings and publications, and we will continue to
focus on this strength. Cambridge University Press brings to the
partnership
an unparalleled international reach in education and science, a
powerful
electronic platform serving the science community, a commitment to
building
with MRS a broader publications portfolio in the area of materials and
a dedication to education and public outreach. In short, Cambridge
shares
our values in service to advancing materials science and education. We
look forward to collaborating with Cambridge on enhancing MRS’s current
publications line and developing new products.”
“We are absolutely delighted to
be partnering with MRS, who are without doubt a major force in
materials
science publishing” said Simon Ross, Global Journals Director at
Cambridge.
“When you speak to any enthusiastic materials scientist they will
tell
you that the scope of materials research is unbounded, it covers
everything,
so the opportunities that will follow from this collaboration are
potentially
huge. We have already started to build a vision of the future. Together
we will continue to innovate through technology and seek new ways to
reach
existing and new markets with the very best services and content in
materials
science.”
Phil Meyler, Publishing Director for
Engineering, Mathematical and Physical Sciences at Cambridge, stressed
further the importance of this partnership: “Materials science and
engineering are critical in addressing many of today’s most pressing
issues,
such as energy, climate change, and the development of biomedical
technology.
The scientists and engineers who make up MRS are spearheading many of
these
efforts, and we look forward to working with the Society to publish a
range
of print and electronic products for a truly global community of
students,
researchers, and practitioners.”

3. Wiley Online Library - updated information
Dear all
I would like to provide you with this reminder that Wiley Online Library will launch towards the end of July 2010 and will fully replace Wiley InterScience.
Wiley Online Library will host more than 1500 online journals, 8000 books, and hundreds of reference works, databases and laboratory protocols from John Wiley & Sons and key imprints including Wiley-Blackwell, Wiley-VCH and Jossey-Bass.
More information can be found here: http://www.wileyonlinelibrary.com/info
This Wiley Online Library Information site is now updated to include the following additional details:
- FAQs about linking and redirects. We are working with third party link resolvers to ensure links redirect correctly from their services. If you have manually constructed links on your library sites we recommend you take the opportunity to update them once the new site launches.
- New OpenURL syntax and URL linking structure for Wiley Online Library now available to download. However, please implement these changes after the launch of the new site as the new links will not work beforehand.
- Suggested actions for librarians to take to support the launch of Wiley Online Library in your institution. More training resources, logos, and explanatory text will be available for you to use in the next few weeks.
We will confirm the launch timeframe and expected downtime nearer to the target launch date in July.
If you have any questions, please contact your usual Wiley-Blackwell representative, our Customer Help Desk: http://www.wileycustomerhelp.com or contact me directly at emily.gillingham@wiley.com
Best wishes,
