ABOUT THE COMMERCIAL DIGEST Since June 2008, the SERIALST moderators have been distributing a Commercial Digest once a week, on Friday afternoons, with messages containing informational content from commercial bodies (i.e., publishers, vendors, agents, etc.). The moderators review submitted messages for informational content that may interest our subscribers. We reserve the right to reject messages that are purely for advertising or product/service solicitation, with little or no informational content beyond the solicitation, as well as other content that are not within the scope and purpose guidelines of SERIALST (see: http://www.uvm.edu/~bmaclenn/serialst.html If you have thoughts or feedback about the Commercial digest, or other aspects of SERIALST, please let us hear from you.

The journals are American Sociological Review, ASA's flagship journal and the number-one-ranked journal in sociology, Contemporary Sociology: A Journal of Reviews, Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Social Psychology Quarterly, Sociology of Education, and Teaching Sociology (all to be published by SAGE in 2010); and Sociological Methodology and Sociological Theory (published by SAGE beginning in 2012). The American Sociological Association is a non-profit membership association, based in Washington, DC, dedicated to advancing sociology as a scientific discipline and profession serving the public good. Founded in 1905, ASA has nearly 15,000 members, including college and university faculty, and researchers at public institutions and in the private sector. Its members participate in 44 special interest sections and its journals are among the best in the field. "Forming a publishing partnership with SAGE is a very significant step for the Association, one we believe will be extremely beneficial to our members and to the discipline of sociology," said ASA Executive Officer Sally Hillsman. "SAGE has long provided significant publishing support to sociology, and this is a particularly important time for our discipline nationally and internationally. The leadership of the American Sociological Association seeks to ensure the Association's journals are at the core of a robust sociological and interdisciplinary scholarly communication system that strengthens our discipline and contributes to the well being of society. I am confident that ASA's partnership with SAGE will move us forward in achieving these goals." Publishers' proposals were judged on the strength of their list in sociology and related fields and on the publisher's reputation and references. "We couldn't be more pleased that ASA has selected SAGE as its publisher and are delighted to be working with the Association to grow and strengthen its publishing program," said Alison Mudditt, SAGE Executive Vice President. "The ASA's prestigious journals will increase the quality of our already strong list in sociology. Our extensive online presence, marketing efforts, and international sales team will help heighten worldwide visibility for ASA's journals."

MUSE also introduces a new option to custom print and package articles in MUSE journals. The new features are: - A 'Search this Journal' search box. This search box appears on each journal's home page, on the Table of Contents (TOC) of each issue, and on each article. The 'Search This Journal' feature enables a user to quickly check all issues of the journal in MUSE, with a single search, for all articles in that journal pertaining to a particular subject. - Summaries (abstracts) for articles. MUSE now provides a link for the summary of each article. Users know that the ability to scan summaries of articles is essential to determining which articles are relevant to their research. That ability is now available in MUSE. The Summary links appear on the TOCs and in search results, next to the article format options of HTML and PDF. New Option for Custom Print Custom Print is a service provided by Sheridan Press that allows a user to click on a link from MUSE and purchase an article or groups of articles for the purpose of creating a custom publication. MUSE is one of the first online providers to activate this service. The user may choose either print or electronic format for the purchased articles. At this time, articles contained in 'The American Indian Quarterly' published by the University of Nebraska Press are the only articles in MUSE for which this option is available. On the article page, look for the link 'Custom Print' to initiate the transaction. MUSE on Facebook MUSE has been on Facebook for some time now, but we just secured our own URL and wanted to pass the word on to MUSE users. Find MUSE at www.facebook.com/ProjectMUSE. Become a fan of MUSE! You can also follow us on Twitter, @ProjectMUSE. For any questions or comments about the new features, please email us at muse@press.jhu.edu.
