Psychological Abstracts, a Bellwether, Going Online-Only After 80 Years in
Print

------------------------------------------------------------
by Bette Brunelle

Important Details: The American Psychological Association (APA) announced
that it will discontinue print publication of its Psychological Abstracts
Index after the December 2006 issue. The decision was attributed to a
sharp decline in print subscriptions (from a high of 9,500 to less than
300); the wide availability of the online product; and the coverage gap
between the products - the print included only about 32 percent of
materials covered in the online version.
