BioOne (www.bioone.org) is delighted to announce the successful
launch of its new full-text collection, BioOne.2. BioOne.2
includes 41 titles from 26 publishers in the fields of organismal
and integrative biology, including the Harvard University Museum
of Comparative Zoology, the Field Museum and the Carnegie Museum
of Natural History.  BioOne.2 is also home to a number of
prestigious international publications including six titles from
Japan's UniBio Press. Please visit BioOne at www.bioone.org for a

As with BioOne.1, many titles participating in BioOne.2 have not

fully- linked online presence.

Institutions may subscribe to BioOne.2 either in combination with
BioOne.1 (at a discount) or as a separate subscription.

"We are delighted to launch BioOne.2 and provide this important
content with a community-based home on the Web," said BioOne
Executive Director Susan Skomal.  "BioOne.2 is an excellent
reflection of BioOne's mission, providing publishers with a
not-for-profit electronic publishing alternative, and libraries
with high- quality aggregated content at reasonable rates."
