AIP‐Asia Foundation program

The American Institute of Physics has received a $2500 grant from the Asia Foundation to help underwrite one‐year subscriptions to AIP and Member Society journals for libraries in Asia. For the past six years, such grants have been used to assist individual physicists in Asia to secure memberships, journal subscriptions, and travel expenses to meetings sponsored by the Institute and its Member Societies. However, this year the awards will be restricted to the financing of one‐year subscriptions to libraries of Asian educational institutions, organizations, and professional societies, thus assuring a wider readership throughout the region. An AIP committee has been formed to select the recipient libraries on the basis of need and geographical distribution. Further information can be obtained from the American Institute of Physics, 335 East 45 Street, New York, N.Y. 10017.
