Abs- tractorsin the AOU mostlycover journals in the Americasand the Philippines;those in the BOU mostlycover journals published in Europe,Africa, and mainlandAsia; and RAOU volunteerscover journals published in Australasia,Japan, and other island nationsof the Pacific. ROL usersshould search in everylikely categoryfor relevantarticles. The categorization procedureis oftensubjective and eachcitation is assignedto only one category,regardless of how many topicsare covered. Sincethe ROL strivesfor globaland comprehensivereporting, we encourageusers to rec- ommendto their regionaleditors periodicals that oughtto be included.Authors, editors, or publisherswhose articles or journalsare not coveredby ROL shouldsend reprints, abstracts, or journalissues to the regionaleditor responsible for coverageof the geographicalarea in whichthe journalis published,or to the CoordinatingEditor. We need and welcomeadditional abstractors. If you would like to help, pleasecontact your regionaleditor to learn which journalslack coverageand to receiveinstructions for preparingabstracts. Notice:We will henceforthpublish abstracts of doctoraldissertations, going back to those completedsince January 1, 1995.Authors who wish to be includedshould prepare an entry in ROL styleand sendit to one of the regionaleditors. Submittal via e-mail or on diskette (WP or ASCII) with hard copy preferred.Entries should include: author's name, year of completion,title, "Ph.D. dissert.",university name and location,(author's postal and e-mail addresses),and a 1-2 sentenceabstract, not a full-dress abstract.
