<DIV class=ecxgmail_quote><BR>American Physical Society Online Journals Available Free in U.S.<BR>High Schools<BR><BR>Ridge, NY, 9 February 2011 - The American Physical Society (APS)<BR>announces a new public access initiative that will give high<BR>school students and teachers in the United States full use of all<BR>online APS journals, from the most recent articles back to the<BR>first issue in 1893, a collection including over 400,000<BR>scientific research papers. APS will provide access to its<BR>journals, Physical Review Letters, Physical Review, and Reviews<BR>of Modern Physics, at no cost, as a contribution to public<BR>engagement with the ongoing development of scientific<BR>understanding. The high school program is a natural follow on to<BR>last summer's offering to U.S. public libraries. "When we made<BR>our journals freely available to public libraries, we were<BR>happily surprised to receive requests for access from high<BR>schools as well," said APS Publisher Joseph Serene. "We are now<BR>delighted to share our journals and their archive with interested<BR>secondary school students and teachers."<BR><BR>"We want to foster the interest of high school students in the<BR>primary scientific literature. Some of it will be beyond their<BR>reach, but there are also papers such as the invention of the<BR>transistor and laser diode that can pique the interest of many<BR>high school students," said Gene Sprouse, APS Editor in Chief.<BR><BR>High school teachers or librarians can obtain access by accepting<BR>a simple online site license and providing valid IP addresses of<BR>public-use computers in their high school or high school library<BR><A href="https://librarians.aps.org/account/public_access_new" target=_blank>https://librarians.aps.org/account/public_access_new</A>. The license<BR>requires that users be in the high school when they read the APS<BR>journals online or download articles. Initially the program is<BR>limited to the U.S., but it may be extended to high schools in<BR>other countries in the future.<BR><BR>"We've been excited to obtain access to the online APS journals,<BR>since we heard about the program for public libraries," said<BR>Becca Ferrick, head librarian at Thomas Jefferson High School for<BR>Science and Technology in Alexandria, VA. "Our students and<BR>faculty look forward to using these valuable resources to support<BR>our science curriculum and student research."<BR><BR>About APS: The American Physical Society (<A href="http://www.aps.org/" target=_blank>www.aps.org</A>) is a<BR>non-profit membership organization working to advance and diffuse<BR>the knowledge of physics through its outstanding research<BR>journals, scientific meetings, and education, outreach, advocacy<BR>and international activities. APS represents 48,000 members,<BR>including physicists in academia, national laboratories and<BR>industry in the United States and throughout the world. Society<BR>offices are located in College Park, MD (Headquarters), Ridge,<BR>NY, and Washington, DC.<BR><BR></DIV><BR><BR>-- To unsubscribe from the BOAI Forum, use the form on this page: http://www.soros.org/openaccess/forum.shtml?f </body>
