As I begin my term, CTD will be published as a book with both the
Spring and the Fall 2005 issues appearing as one volume. It is our hope
that this new format will increase subscriptions without compromising the
quality of the journal. The Executive Committee and the membership will
surely provide feedback on this new format as we seek to increase our circulation.
Other changes include initiating electronic submission and
review. The forms for submission and review will be available on both the
AATC (http://www.unc.edu/~wveal/aatc.html) and Information Age (http:
//www.infoagepub.com/www/index.html) Websites. Additionally, George
Johnson, our publisher, has agreed to house electronic copies of back
issues on the Information Age Website. Volumes 1 and 2 have been
scanned and are ready for uploading, Volumes 3 is in process. Future volumes
will be uploaded to the Website with a 5 year lag. This electronic
access will enable broader distribution of our work without compromising
volumes that are current and still available for sale.
This edition of CTD is divided into two parts.
