ICARUS INSTITUTIONAL SUBSCRIPTIONS
There has been substantial input communicated from the DPS to
Elsevier about the desire for institutional subscriptions (both
print and full electronic access) to Icarus by itself, not as
part of a larger bundle of multiple journals. There is progress
in that Elsevier is now looking closely at this
option, but there are no changes offered yet. In the mean time,
the recommendation for small institutions is for their members
to pursue the option of individual subscriptions ($99 per year;
see the DPS website for details). In this way members can have
the access they desire at what is very likely to be a lower per
person cost compared with the institutional subscription rate.
Discussions with Elsevier are ongoing. Past-Chair Richard Binzel
(rpb at mit.edu) is the DPS liaison to Elsevier.
