Tom McIlrath, treasurer of the American Physical Society and longtime PAM
supporter has retired after ten years in his position. Tom had great
admiration for librarians, which he expressed well and often. During Tom's
tenure he introduced tiered pricing and traveled around the country to present
the new structure to librarians. He was open about the finances of the Society
and it's publishing operation, and for that we are extremely grateful. Tom is
an emeritus professor of physics from the University of Maryland.
William Jacobs, newly minted librarian, has been appointed to the position
of Science and Engineering Librarian at the University of Miami. Welcome
to the fold!
