An Encouraging Note on Research Showcase
Carnegie Mellon’s new Research Showcase uses bepressTM (Berkeley Electronic Press)’s DigitalCommonsTM software. In addition to Research Showcase being used to store open access copies of the literature of Carnegie Mellon authors, the university can use it to host their own journals or to publish the proceedings of workshops and conferences. The software even assists with handling the peer review process.
Perhaps some examples of what other universities are doing with the software might serve to pique your interest. Some examples of electronic journals are:
The Electronic Green Journal published by the University of California, Los Angeles
http://escholarship.org/uc/uclalib_egj
The Energy Studies Review of McMaster University
http://digitalcommons.mcmaster.ca/esr/
The Mathematical Journal of Okayama University
http://escholarship.lib.okayama-u.ac.jp/mjou/
Here is a conference proceedings example:
Proceedings of the 50th Annual Adult Education Research Conference
http://digitalcommons.nl.edu/ace_aerc/1/
At Carnegie Mellon, we’re using the software to publish technical reports from the Parallel Data Laboratory. See:
http://repository.cmu.edu/pdl/
Soon we’ll have the proceedings of The Fifth International Conference on Universal Digital Library published in the Research Showcase.
So, to the Carnegie Mellon community … if you’re ready to give the software a try in whatever capacity, we’re willing to assist in whatever way we can.

APS Climate Change Statement Due for Amendment?
The current “National Policy Statement on Climate Change of the APS Council” is under fire from a growing number of physicists who feel the scientific evidence to support the statement is inadequate. There currently is a proposal for an amendment that should cause policy makers great pause. See:
http://www.openletter-globalwarming.info/Site/open_letter.html
The proposal has triggered a review by the APS Council per an email sent to APS members earlier today.
