AAFP Announces Restricted Online Access to Journal Content

["Cathy Donahue" <cdonahue@aafp.org>]

The American Association of Family Physicians (AAFP) has 
announced that beginning in April 2008, it will restrict online 
access to new issues of its journals, American Family Physician 
and Family Practice Management, to AAFP members and paid 
subscribers.

New journal articles will be restricted for a period of 12 
months, after which time they will be available on the "public 
side" of <www.aafp.org/afp> and <www.aafp.org/fpm> where 90% of 
the journals' content will continue to reside.  Previously, 100% 
of AFP and FPM content has been available online without a 
subscription.

Although current rates were established for print subscriptions, 
these subscriptions will also provide online access beginning in 
April. Current prices will remain in effect, however, for the 
remainder of the year.  For more information on AFP, or to 
subscribe, contact your agent or go to www.aafp.org/afp and click 
on subscriptions.  For FPM go to <www.aafp.org/fpm>.  You may 
also call 800-274-2237 (913-906-6000).

American Family Physician is published 24 times a year, Family 
Practice Management 10 times a year.
