WAAC Newsletter

It is a pleasure to announce that half of the backlog of back issues
of the WAAC Newsletter are now available online, with the remaining
ones to follow in the near future.

    <URL:http://cool.conservation-us.org/waac/wn/>

The newly posted articles have a new format, you can now read the
entire issue or each column or feature as a separate PDF document.
(Feature articles are best read as spreads, for illustration
placement, etc., however they are posted as single pages so that
they can be printed easily.)

Hard copies are still available and, after we are caught up, we will
return to the policy of waiting 6 months after publication to post
an issue online, in deference to those who actually pay for the
Newsletter.

And on that subject, you might consider joining WAAC.  Our dues are
very reasonable, especially considering that for two years we have
donated $5 of every membership fee to the support of CoOL and the
DistList.  I believe we are still the only organization doing that.
(Individual Membership in WAAC costs $40 per year ($45 Canada, $50
overseas) and entitles the member to receive the WAAC Newsletter
(three issues/year) and the annual Membership Directory, attend the
Annual Meeting, vote in elections, and stand for office.
Institutional Membership costs $45 per year ($50 Canada, $55
overseas) and entitles the institution to receive the WAAC
Newsletter and Membership Directory
