The Editorial Committee thanks all who submitted articles for the 1997
Barley Newsletter and those who took the time to request that their names
be maintained on the mailing list. The articles were in good condition,
and appear as they were submitted. Because all submissions were either
on disk or sent via email, and since Volume 41 will be available on-line
via GrainGenes, fonts, spacings etc. were left as each individual authour
provided them.
2. Mailing/Address List
The mailing list is prepared newly each year, based on authors of articles submitted and requests from individuals asking specifically that their names be placed on the list.
The Barley Newsletter is published electronically and on paper. For the electronic version see: http://wheat.pw.usda.gov/ggpages/BarleyNewsletter. The paper version is available with advance payment of a subscription fee to the publisher, the American Malting Barley Associatio, Inc. (AMBA). Orderv forms for the next available issue will be distributed by AMBA to the address list and GrainGenes. AN address list of subscribers, authours and other interested parties is included for informational purposes in each issue.
If you want to receive Volume 42 and are not submitting an article please check your address on the list in this volume and notify the publisher of any changes.
Where possible, please share your copy of the Barley Newsletter with others to reduce the number of copies that must be distributed and advise them of access under GrainGenes.
