 >Starting with its January 2002 issue, Physics Today Online, published by
 >the American Institute of Physics (AIP), will be placed under limited
 >access, available in its entirety only to individual subscribers and to
 >members of AIP's 10 Member Societies.  This action was decided upon by
 >AIP's Governing Board and recognizes the fact that Physics Today  is
 >distributed by the Societies as an exclusive member benefit.  The current
 >site has always indicated that access controls would be put in place at
 >some date in the future. That time has come.
 >
 >Some of the online material at www.physicstoday.org will remain available
 >to all.  Job opportunities, lists of upcoming meetings, and Member Society
 >information will always be freely accessible.  In addition, the Editors
 >will choose a few items from each issue for unrestricted access.
 >
 >AIP recognizes the importance of our institutional subscribers and that
 >there will be some challenges to your users as a result of our
 >policy.  The print version of Physics Today and the unrestricted portions
 >of the Web site will provide continuity for your patrons who are not
 >subscribers.
 >
 >We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
