Previous communications have described some of the changes that will occur in the next few months as AGU makes the transition to fully electronic publishing. This piece discusses subscription options and new services that will be available to members in 2002, ones that the Publications Committee believes will be sufficiently attractive to encourage many members to continue or initiate personal connections with the AGU journals in electronic form. Member subscribers will have many possibilities for online access. The different options for back issue access are intended to provide fairness to all members and also to discourage random‐year subscriptions.
