You can view the license agreement we are putting into place by following the link off the opening page of our Web site (http://www.ametsoc.org/AMS) to the "AMS Journals Go Online January 1998!" This link provides access not only to the pilot site for this project (which goes fully operational this January), but also the license and pricing information for institutional subscribers. We feel the license agreement we have put together is very sensitive to the needs of the library community, and have gotten good feedback on it so far.
