When I began subscribing to this Journal, I was an undergraduate chemistry major. One of my professors suggested that I should read JCE because I had expressed interest in both chemistry and teaching. I did so, and I have never regretted subscribing. To me the Journal seemed an incredible bargain. It cost less than a textbook and brought a similar quantity of information each yearand that information was often presented in a more interesting fashion than I was used to in textbooks.

As we move into a new millennium, it is useful to reflect on what a current undergraduate with interests in chemistry and teaching might expect of this Journal. How should the Journal develop over the next decades to serve that student most effectively? Younger readers are often more attuned to computers and information technology than are their elders. They expecteven demanda format that recognizes and adapts to the advantages and opportunities presented by such new media. This is a good thing, because by adapting to these readers' interests, this Journal can continue to grow with the times, serving all of us better.

During the past decade it has become clear that the print medium can deliver only a fraction of the broad range of information that you or I could use effectively to help students learn. Chemistry content and learning aids are no longer limited to what can be printed on paper, and even what can be printed is often more useful in electronic format. My goal for this Journal is to make use of various ways to deliver information, capitalizing on the strengths of each, but also accommodating the experience and interests of a broad range of readers. We recognize that no single medium is best for all our content or all our clientele, and we are working toward a seamless integration of everything our authors contribute to JCE. We want you to be able to find what interests you, obtain and peruse it in an appropriate format, and use it effectively with students.

I like to get my copy of JCE in the mail each month, and I expect you do too. I can glance at the cover to get an overview of an issue's content, and I usually am enticed inside by intriguing cover art. I can scan the table of contents to find articles I want to read, or I can just browse through the issue to see what looks interesting. Usually the editors have juxtaposed related articles so that I often find a small treasure trove. The printed Journal is quite portable and can be read in a car or airplane. It will last a long time, and until the paper deteriorates, I will never have a problem reading back issues. I have almost every issue from the first day I subscribed and have even added some older ones from collections of retired colleagues who no longer had shelf space for them. I certainly would not want to give up my printed copies, and I want to keep getting them.

I find that JCE Online provides a different kind of resource that is equally valuable. It contains more information, and information that is more appropriate in electronic form. It links related ideas into a much more complex web of information than is possible in print. And it opens pathways to lots of information that is not part of JCE but resides elsewhere. Using this issue as an example, let's take a tour of what JCE Online can do.

• Point your Web browser to http://jchemed.chem.wisc.edu
• Click on Journal and then on Current Issue (unless September 1999 is no longer the current issue, in which case you will find it in Past Issues).
• In the table of contents, find the article "UV Catalysis, Cyanotype Photography, and Sunscreens". Click on the title.
• When the abstract appears, click on Full Text (PDF) to see the article, just as it appears on page 1199 in this issue.
• When you are prompted, enter the name and subscriber number from your address label.
• At the end of the article you will find that supplementary materials are available (including a procedure for testing sunscreens) and you can click on the link to view them. Or you can link to a student activity involving cyanotype photography: JCE Classroom Activity #19 (pages 1216A and 1216B). You can print a copy for use in your classroom, and the links at the bottom of the student side will take you (or your students) onto the Web for even more information.
• In the Literature Cited section of the article, a mouse click on the first reference will take you to another Journal paper on sunscreens (Abney and Scalettar, June 1998).
• For even more information on sunscreens, you can click on JCE Index in the sidebar. Searching titles for "Sunscreen" will yield three more papers, two of which have been published since September 1996 and therefore are available via a mouse click.
• If you would like to locate other JCE Classroom Activities, search keywords for "Activity". Each activity sheet you find is only a mouse click away.

This example shows that JCE Online nicely complements the printed issue. It provides new ways to find and view information, and it includes information available nowhere else. I think that every reader can benefit from both JCE Print and JCE Online, and the Board of Publication concurs. Beginning September 1, 1999, we will make both JCE Print and all of JCE Online available to every JCE subscriber. (For details of how this will work, see News from Journal House on page 1184.)

Your Journal will enter the new millennium in fine stylebringing you the best of chemical education in several media, each suited to particular tasks and complementary to the others. Please use our resources for your own and your students' benefit, and let us know what you think about them.
