>From the Editor of HerpDigest: Due to popular demand HerpDigest is going to regularly print the bibliographies of the top journals in Herpetology.
Why? First, the readership of HerpDigest is larger than any of the journals, larger than many of them combined. Second. Cost & Time:. Few people can subscribe to all of the journals, have the time to check say their schools library regularly to catch up on whats new, or have access to libraries that subscribe to these journals, Add to this the recession . The Result? A lot of information is probably not being read by the right people. And that is where HerpDigest comes in. This is HerpDigests mission. To not only broaden sources of information-as in finding new or relatively unknown publications, to help people not miss anything that might be important to their work, and expand the audience for herp news. Examples: a good third of HerpDigests readers do not live in the U.S, many readers are not herpetologists, but work in conservation and have to know about not just herps. So once very week or two weeks, Ill publish complete issues of bibliographies of publications like Herpetological Review, (Copeia-just the herp articles), Herpetologica and more as the issues come out. Ill also provide information where to get copies of the articles.issue or how to subscribe.
