I will echo Jeff's comments on the importance of the internet, and the 
WWW. The easy with which people can access information is amazing, and 
realize that the internet is less than 10 years old. In ten more years, 
it will be the standard way people do book searches, look up articles, 
magizines, mail, research, conference, .....

If the HPS really wants to go to the  forefront of the net, they should 
consider putting the membership directory, listing of all HPS journal 
articles, position statements, information databases, and probably a 
job/career section, with job posting and resume search engines. 

In the future, I would suggest they consider putting all the old HPS 
journal articles on the web, along with selected reference books, and 
standards.
