     First: In a bold move to keep up with trends and new technologies in the publishing field, the Northeastern Naturalist has agreed to have the journal printed and distributed by academic publisher, Allen Press, of Lawrence, Kansas. By doing so, we join a family of over 350 key research journals such as the Journal of Mammalogy, Wilson Bulletin, Systematic Botany, American Midland Naturalist, Evolution, and others.
    Second: The journal is going online. It has joined the AIBS co-sponsored BioOne web database, a prototype online full-text searchable database of key journals in the environmental and biological sciences. Available to institutions only. Co-sponsored by the American Institute of Biological Sciences, the Big 12 Plus Library Consortium, Allen Press, and other organizations.
Third: The journal will soon be able to offer an individual online version of the journal identical to BioOne. IN SHORT, the distribution of the journal is becoming world-wide. Authors take note, to celebrate these exciting new developments we are offering a special first-time subscribers a discount of 30%!
