MEMBER BENEFITS AND PUBLICATIONS
New Membership Benefit Added—
Online Access to Conference Records

We are pleased to announce that there will be a new NPSS membership benefit in 2008. In addition to the existing benefits, the NPSS membership fee will include personal online access to all NPSS Conference Publications (unreviewed articles published in Conference Records, as opposed to reviewed articles published in Transactions on Nuclear Science or Transactions on Plasma Science). Thus, in 2008 your $25 NPSS membership fee will include online access to TNS, TPS, and all NPSS Conference Publications. In the past, the only way to get online access to Conference Publications was through a subscription to all of IEEE’s publications (something that is usually only affordable by large institutions) or through Member Digital Library (which costs $35/month).
The details on how this will be implemented are still being developed. However, it is likely that in order to receive this benefit, you must check a box on your NPSS membership renewal form indicating that you wish to receive it. It is also possible that there will be a nominal fee for this access after 2008. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Bill Moses (wwmoses@lbl.gov).
