From the Editor




With this first issue of the new year, I'm pleased to welcome a new member of the 
editorial board.  David Flaxbart, Chemistry Librarian at the University of Texas, 
Austin, will lend his expertise to this journal.

This is also a good time to take stock of where things stand with ISTL.  In 1999 
we had over 30,000 visits to the ISTL home page.  That seems a respectable number 
for a specialized journal.


Our most popular articles of the past year dealt mostly with technology-related 
issues. The top ten list includes:



	
Chemistry Resources on the Internet (Winter 1998)

	
Electronic Journals as a Component of the Digital Library (Spring 1999)	

	
Ruminations on the Sci-Tech Serials Crisis (Fall 1998)	

	
Guide to Computer Science Internet Sources (Summer 1997)	

	
You Can't Get There from Here: Issues in Remote Access to Electronic Journals for 
a Health Sciences Library (Spring 1999)	

	
Electronic Publishing of Scholarly Journals: A Bibliographic Essay of Current 
Issues (Spring 1999)	

	
Scientific Literacy Skills for Non-Science Librarians: Bootstrap Training
(Fall 1999)

	
Science in the Twilight Zone; Or, Are Science Libraries Related to Science
(Fall 1998)

	
Library Staffing Considerations in the Age of Technology: Basic Elements for 
Managing Change (Fall 1999)
