Chicago Journals adds online newsroom to Web site

The University of Chicago Press Journals Division continues to 
expand its Web-only services with the addition of an online 
newsroom, launched this week. Freely available to the public, 
this important service provides improved accessibility, 
transparency, and communication with our readers and subscribers, 
as well as members of the working press. Please visit 
www.journals.uchicago.edu <http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/> for 
more information.

A demonstration of the University of Chicago Press's commitment 
to listening and responding to customer needs, the continually 
updated newsroom will feature breaking news about the University 
of Chicago Press and the journals it publishes. Visitors to the 
Web site will be privy to the latest developments at the 
University of Chicago Press. Highlights of groundbreaking 
research from the University of Chicago Press's prestigious 
journals will also be made available, in many cases in advance of 
both electronic and print publication.

For Publications Manager Kari Roane, the newly launched newsroom 
encapsulates the ideals at the heart of the University of Chicago 
Press Journals brand:

"As part of the largest University Press in the United States, we 
are devoted to ensuring that the highest quality scholarship 
reaches the widest possible audience.

"Accessibility is a key component of our ongoing efforts to 
improve the Journals Division Web site. We are delighted to open 
another communications channel, providing our range of users with 
more ways to explore the information they need."

The University of Chicago Press was established in 1891, making 
it one of the oldest continuously operating university presses in 
the United States. The Journals Division currently publishes 
forty-three leading journals and five annuals in the fields of 
social sciences, humanities, biological and medical sciences, and 
the physical sciences.
