A cheerfully large number of PAM members gathered at 11:30am on Monday, June 4th to hear reports on a variety of topics from their division mates. Speakers included:
* Zari Kamarei from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, on the status of the Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN) Single Copy Task Group she chairs;
* Tony O'Rourke from the Institute of Physics, on IOP's new content interface (which includes access to all of their content from all of their journals) and their planned pricing structure;
* Pat Viele from Cornell University, on her activities with the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT);
* Donna Thompson from the Astrophysics Data Service, introducing the latest developments at ADS, including myADS and the new personal library.
A short general discussion was held after the speakers concluded, about off-site storage of journals.
