Perspectives is going GREEN to save some GREEN in 2008!
In 2008, Special Interest Division member publications, Perspectives, will be published online only. The Divisions are going to this new format:
- To save some GREEN. Increases in content and frequency of publication coupled with increasing postage costs have put a strain on Division budgets. Publishing online only will free up resources that can be allocated to other Division programs and member benefits.
- To be more GREEN. Online publishing is a positive step environmentally; it saves resources (paper, energy) associated with publishing hardcopy.
- To respond to affiliates' interests in accessing content online
- To provide new benefits (e.g., archived issues)
