To follow this discussion and to share any feedback you might have, I suggest you post your comments to the AER Listserv, where they will reach the appropriate audience. An Important Message from the American Foundation for the Blind: Effective immediately, AFB Press will offer all professionals a new $25 individual subscription fee for online access to the Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness (JVIB) and $65 for a combined print and online subscription. To allow for a new subscription process to be put in place following the AER decision to terminate JVIB as a member benefit, AFB Press will provide continuous access to JVIB during the months of April and May to our readership. Readers can log on using the generic "AER, AER" user name and password. During the month of May, JVIB's readership will be invited to join the JVIB community by contacting AFB Press directly and taking advantage of the new, reduced subscription rates for individual subscribers. At that time, AFB Press will provide additional information about how readers can formally sign up for their new subscriptions. In the meantime, please contact afbpress@xxxxxxx with any questions you might have. AER members who have print add-on subscriptions to the journal will be receiving their April print issue in the mail. Questions about your AER membership or the JVIB add-on print subscription arranged by AER should be addressed to the AER office directly. Thank you for your support of JVIB, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with you, our valued readers. The Editors andAFB Press Maureen A.
