7. OTHER NEWS
-------------

SKY AND TELESCOPE

The latest issue of Sky and Telescope will be displayed at SLO during one 
month. Then it will be displayed at the INT library, where it will be stored.

NATURE

The main collection has been moved to the INT library due to space problems 
at SLO library. At SLO we will keep the collection of duplicates.

VISTAS IN ASTRONOMY

Vistas in Astronomy will change its name begining in 1998. It will be
called: New Astronomy Reviews, and it will continue the volume numbering of
Vistas in Astronomy.

RAPID PUBLICATION OF ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS

The University of Chicago Press has begun a new rapid publication procedure
for the Astrophysical Journal Letters (part 2). Beginning September 3rd,
with the October 10 issue, individual ApJ Letters are being published on-line
one by one, as they are finished, before the entire issue is ready for
publication. These Letters have been accepted, copy-edited, typeset, proofed
by the authors, and proof corrections made. If it is necessary to cite one
of these letters during that period, we urge that it be cited as "to appear
in the issue of...". You can find the new rapid release ApJ Letters by
following the link from http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/ApJ/journal/
