Dear Colleagues:

OSA - The Optical Society is pleased to announce the launch of 
our new OSA Library Resource Center at 
<http://www.osa.org/librarians>. Here you will find tools to help 
you manage your institution's subscriptions to OSA Journals.

>From a tools perspective, you'll now have easy access to:

*Our robust OSA Usage Report Service, providing both COUNTER 
reports and supplemental OSA Custom Usage Reports, starting with 
January 2010 data.

*Your complete subscription history.

*Your organizational and individual account contact information, 
as well as your current IP addresses.

*Authoritative linking details and bibliographic data to maximize 
discoverability and interoperability with your library's systems.

We are pleased to report that OSA's COUNTER reports are compliant 
with Release 3 of the COUNTER Code of Practice, and that SUSHI 
harvesting and improved reporting for consortia administrators 
are hallmarks of this recent release.  Monthly email alerts will 
be sent to all subscribing institutions when new reports are 
available.

In addition to these tools, you'll also find a wealth of 
information about OSA's premiere collection of journals, products 
and conference papers including:

for each one

*Details of the research tools available to your patrons, 
including a view into the personalized My InfoBase service as 
seen by end-users

Access instructions will be emailed directly to all librarian 
contacts at institutions with current subscriptions to OSA 
Journals. If you have questions about the OSA Library Resource 
Center, or your institution's subscriptions to OSA Journals, feel 
free to contact us at <mailto:elec@osa.org>. Please be sure to

We hope that the OSA Library Resource Center
