Dear Friends of Cave and Karst Science,
The International Journal of Speleology (IJS) is going through some important changes. The IJS is a publication of the International Union of Speleology (UIS) and was beautifully published for many years by the Italian Speleological Society (SSI). The UIS thanks them for their great service. Recently, the SSI decided to retire from publishing the IJS, and it will now by published by the University of South Florida in the USA. The excellent quality of the printing and the content will not change. The IJS is available for free as pdfs through the IJS website (http://www.ijs.speleo.it/) and the Karst Information Portal (www.karstportal.org). It will continue to be printed in 2011 and 2012, but beginning in 2013 it will be available only in free digital format. The U.S. National Cave and Karst Research Institute is assisting the UIS by collecting payments for subscriptions to printed copies of the journal for 2011 and 2012. If you want printed copies of the IJS, pay now for both years and you will get a lower price: http://www.ijs.speleo.it/IJS-Subscription-2011.pdf. Thank you for your interest and support of the International Journal of Speleology.
