JAIR needs your help. As many of you know, Morgan Kaufmann publishes
JAIR in printed form.  Volume 3 has just been published, and you can
support JAIR by asking your librarian to order a copy. (Volumes 1 and
2 are available as well.) 

There are at least TWO important reasons why you and (your librarian!)
should want your library to own a copy of JAIR:

 1. JAIR has become an important resource for AI researchers.  But at most 
 universities, it remains difficult for undergraduates and researchers 
 in non-CS departments to access and read JAIR PostScript
 articles over the internet.  PostScript documents tend to be large and
 slow to download. Moreover, many people don't have easy access to
 PostScript previewers or printers.  Your library should own a copy so
 that the entire university community has easy access to JAIR.

 2.  By asking your library to order JAIR, you will be making an
 indirect financial contribution to the journal. Currently we are able
 offer the electronic version of JAIR for free because the print
 version is intended to "pay for itself".  We need your help to make
 this happen!

The printed version of JAIR still costs considerably less than most
other journals.  If you are concerned about skyrocketing journal
prices, please support JAIR by making sure your library has a copy.
Below we've included a note that you can forward to your librarian.

Thanks!
