Selections of potential papers for the special issue were made by the special issue selection committee. This committee included  the IES2008 session chairpersons. Selections were made by applying a majority vote filter, followed by a consensus, in order to get the number of papers under the AGU limit for a special issue. Approximately 50% of the papers may be nominated from among a group of very fine papers. The Special Issue will be published in an OnLine edition as the papers are approved. All papers will be linked electronically. The hardcopy issue will be published sometime in 2009.

SYMPOSIUM DOCUMENTATION & SALES INFORMATION

IES2008 (final) Proceedings 

   In addition to the softbound IES "preprint" document provided to registrants, tradition dictates that a fully edited document of record will be developed. Authors will be given approximately 1 month (i.e., until 12 June 2008) to revise the original manuscript that was provided to attendees at the time of registration. The IES staff will edit the original and revised material, add appropriate introductory material, and produce the final document of record. This hardbound document of record will be then mailed to qualified attendees. This official document will also be offered to the public for sale while supplies last.  Ultimately the document will be archived with NTIS and sold to the public. Information will be provided. This has been done as of December 2008.

    By agreement with the sponsors of IES2008, the symposium managers, (i.e., JMG Associates) will also submit the document of record to the National Technical Information Service (NTIS, Springfield VA) for public distribution and sale. It is our understanding that the documents made available from NTIS will be softbound. We are not sure of the price structure, but they have been somewhat more costly than the hardbound versions being sold by JMG Associates.  Also note that the purchase arrangements through NTIS are separate and independent of those made with JMG Associates.

PROCEEDINGS OF PREVIOUS SYMPOSIA

CD-ROM Edition for IES2002 and IES2005

We have CD-ROM editions for IES2002 and IES2005. Shipping and Handling inside USA is $6.75, including applicable sales tax. The S/H is $5.00 for customers outside the USA.

We have produced a CD-ROM edition for IES2008 (under subcontract with JRH Small Business Services). This edition is equivalent to the IES2008 hardbound book, although there are some formatting differences. It enables color figures and graphics to be properly displayed. Some papers and abstracts not contained in the official IES "book" are contained on the CD. The CD-ROM cost schedule is given above. Shipping and Handling inside USA is $6.75, including applicable sales tax. The S/H is $5.00 for customers outside the USA. .  The CD-ROM edition for IES2008 will not be available through NTIS. 

There are a number of (hard-bound) copies of previous symposia still available. They include IES96, IES99, IES2002, and IES2005.

Soft-bound copies of all previous symposia may be ordered from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), Springfield, Virginia.
