Dear Colleagues
We are pleased to announce some changes to the distribution of Turpion
titles (www.turpion.org) that will be beneficial to those who read and
subscribe to this important series.
In order to provide additional choices, products and services to
librarians, in 2004 Institute of Physics Publishing (IOP) began a
partnership with Turpion Ltd, the highly regarded publisher of eight
Russian translation journals in the fields of Physics, Mathematics and
Chemistry. The partnership was met with excellent feedback from those
in the library community and has thus led to a natural progression
whereby the sales, marketing, distribution and fulfilment services for
Turpion titles will be moved to IOP with effect from January 1, 2007.
These new arrangements between IOP and Turpion Ltd enable customers to
benefit from IOP’s wide range of discounted packages and consortia
agreements as well as IOP's excellent customer services team. This
means that you will now be able to work with your current IOP Regional
Representative (see http://www.iop.org/EJ/enquiries for your personal
contact) to manage your Turpion subscriptions as well. And hopefully,
you'll also save some money!
Turpion journals are currently distributed by Turpin Distribution
Services Ltd who will maintain this service until the last issues of
2006 volumes are dispatched to customers. Our aim is to integrate
Turpion electronic content into the IOP EJs platform, although in 2007
Web access to the journal content will continue to be hosted by
Turpion Ltd. There will be no disruption to the current level of
service enjoyed by Turpion customers. Every effort will be made to
ensure that the transition runs smoothly and that any noticeable
changes are positive ones.
I will attend the SLA Conference in Baltimore (June 11-14). Please
stop by the IOP booth (Stand 1417) at the SLA Exhibition to find more
information regarding these changes.
IOP will be contacting all Turpion customers personally with further
information in the forthcoming weeks. Tony O’Rourke, Assistant
Director, Journals of IOP will also be attending the SLA Conference
should you wish to find out more about the proposed changes in Turpion
journals distribution. Or speak to any of the IOP representatives at
Stand 1417 to discuss how this change will affect your individual
institution.
