FWS Library Survey

The Society for Freshwater Science Board of Directors has charged the Publications Committee to identify a publishing partner for Freshwater Science (FWS), formerly the Journal of the North American Benthological Society (J-NABS). This charge originated from the Society’s 5-year Strategic Plan. The goals of this arrangement are to move FWS to the next level by ensuring its continued financial health, improving visibility, accessibility, and services to authors and users while retaining the Journal’s editorial independence, quality, personal service to authors, and reasonable cost.

As part of our review process, we are conducting a survey to assess how access to J-NABS/Freshwater Science through the potential loss of BioOne and/or JStor may impact your and your institution’s access to the Journal.

Please complete this survey by July 15, 2012.
