Dear Colleagues

We are pleased to announce some changes to the distribution of
Turpion titles (www.turpion.org) that will be beneficial to those
who read and subscribe to this important series.

In order to provide additional choices, products and services to
librarians, in 2004 Institute of Physics Publishing (IOP) began a
partnership with Turpion Ltd, the highly regarded publisher of
eight Russian translation journals in the fields of Physics,
Mathematics and Chemistry.  The partnership was met with
excellent feedback from those in the library community and has
thus led to a natural progression whereby the sales, marketing,
distribution and fulfilment services for Turpion titles will be
moved to IOP with effect from January 1, 2007.

These new arrangements between IOP and Turpion Ltd enable
customers to benefit from IOP's wide range of discounted packages
and consortia agreements as well as IOP's excellent customer
services team. This means that you will now be able to work with
your current IOP Regional Representative (see
http://www.iop.org/EJ/enquiries for your personal contact) to
manage your Turpion subscriptions as well.  And hopefully, you'll
also save some money!

Turpion journals are currently distributed by Turpin Distribution
Services Ltd who will maintain this service until the last issue
of 2006 volumes are dispatched to customers. Our aim is to
integrate Turpion electronic content into the IOP EJs platform,
although in 2007 Web access to the journal content will continue
to be hosted by Turpion Ltd.  There will be no disruption to the
current level of service enjoyed by Turpion customers. Every
effort will be made to ensure that the transition runs smoothly
and that any noticeable changes are positive ones.

I will attend the SLA Conference in Baltimore (June 11-14).
Please stop by the IOP booth (Stand 1417) at the SLA Exhibition
to find more information regarding these changes.

IOP will be contacting all Turpion customers personally with
further information in the forthcoming weeks.  Tony O'Rourke,
Assistant Director, Journals of IOP will also be attending the
SLA Conference should you wish to find out more about the
proposed changes in Turpion journals distribution.  Or speak to
any of the IOP representatives at Stand 1417 to discuss how this
change will affect your individual institution.
