One Year Free Electronic Access to portal for new BPM members

In order to help you continue your involvement in academic research and debate, Beta Phi Mu has established a collaboration with The Johns Hopkins University Press. New members can now receive an electronic subscription to the award-winning journal, portal: Libraries and the Academy. portal is an international, refereed journal that addresses the challenges facing academic libraries in the information age. portal provides a forum for articles that focus on the ways in which higher education deals with information issues, such as the support of distance learning, the relationship between libraries and computing centers, and the economic underpinnings of research and scholarly enterprise.

portal: Libraries and the Academy has earned recognition as the runner-up for the "2001 Best New Journal" award, presented by the Council of Editors of Learned Journals. We believe new BPM members will benefit greatly from this opportunity.
