Lori, and radsafers all,


There may be some articles of interest to you on our new, vastly improved

website,

www.radpro.com. 

If you enter into the "storefront" area of the site, there is a

search function which will allow you to view a complete list of all

articles published in either Radiation Protection

Management or RSO Magazine, from the journals first

published, through 2000.  Beginning with 2001, the articles are

still under "subscribers only" status, and appear in a

different area of the site.  Although it's a "storefront,"

you don't need to register or pay to do the searches, and the results

returned to you will include the original citation information, the

titles of the articles, the authors, a list of key words (in most cases),

and a complete abstract if one was published with the article.  You

can search by any parameter you like -- author, title, or keywords (for

example, "hot particles" or "skin dose" or

"Eberline") -- to view articles of interest.


We are just beginning the development of this site, so the full articles

are not yet posted; however, if you wish to order "reprints" on

articles, we will mail or fax them the day we receive the order. 

Eventually, we will have all articles "up" and available for

download.  And since we're in the beginning stages, any comments or

suggestions would be most welcome!


Hope this helps!
