Good Morning:
 
     I endorse enthusiastically Donald Forsdykes's proposal to establish
a new Bionet group for the exchange of information concerning journals.
As the editor of BioTechniques, which is associated with BioTechNet, I am
eager to promote the use of computer networks to improve communications
among editors, authors, reviewers, readers and reference librarians.
 
     Because of the inevitable proliferation of scientific information,
publishers must become more innovative about using electronic media and
more responsive to the needs of the scientific community.  Although many
problems are associated with development of the "electronic journal," I
hope that discussion of such topics will provide constructive feedback
to editors and publishers.
 
     If Donald Forsdyke's proposal is accepted, I'll be pleased to
participate.  Please address any question about BioTechniques or
Peptide Research to me by any of the following means:
