Hello all,

As the Library Liaison for the American Astronomical Society (AAS), I
attended their board meeting last week.

The AAS and IOP Publishing (IOP) have asked though that I announce
immediately that all AAS research journals published with IOP will
become electronic only and will no longer print paper editions. This
transition will take effect with the 2015 subscription year and
affects the Astronomical Journal (AJ) and the Astrophysical Journal
(ApJ), Astrophysical Journal Letters (ApJL), and Astrophysical Journal
Supplement Series (ApJS).

Electronic-only publication will allow for further development of the
AAS journals, outside of the constraints of print providing even
better service to subscribers, authors and readers.

Full details can be found in this press release.
