Secure Online
Orders
APS Press recently announced two new
offerings at the
improved APSnet site. First, it is now possible
to purchase any item in the APS Press catalog online. This feature represents a
significant improvement over the old ways by which you ordered from APS Press.
Using a credit card, APS Press products can
be ordered in a matter of minutes 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Importantly,
every transaction that is conducted through the APS Press store is
encrypted using Yahoo technology and is thus secure. Any personal information that is collected during
your purchase will not be sold to other organizations or companies. For members
of APS, please be aware that discounts for quantity and member purchases are
still made via this site. These discounts will be applied after the order
has been received but before your credit card is charged. We invite you to join us in our entry into e-commerce by ordering your
next APS Press product online.

F & N Tests Available in Online Resources
The second offering is the first online product from APS Press. As you
know, APS Press has assumed responsibility for publishing F & N Tests.
Beginning with volume 55, 2000, an online version of F & N Tests will be
available on APSnet under ONLINE RESOURCES (print versions of F & N
Tests are still found in the APS Press bookstore). Beginning with volume 56, F
& N Tests will be available only in this online format; print versions will
not be available. Although this step was taken to reduce the costs associated
with print publication, I believe this change will actually increase the value
of future volumes of this publication. As new volumes are published, subscribers
will have access to the entire electronic archive of F & N Tests. Via a
search function, subscribers will then be able to review information quickly and
efficiently in the archive. Thus, information on the efficacy of certain
products or on what has been tested against a given disease will be more easily
and conveniently accessed than ever before.
Proposals Sought for Online-Only
Publication
In closing, I invite you to consider publishing with APS Press
online. APS is
quickly becoming the leader in plant health electronic services and products
offered over the web. I encourage you to contact myself or Karen Cummings,
Publications Manager, (kcummings@scisoc.org)
if you are interested in publishing
such a product with APS Press.
