- Important correction regarding Fall 2006 (vol. 95) Preprints
The CD version of the Fall 2006 San Francisco PMSE Preprints (San Francisco meeting) contains an error. Although the correct volume number is given on the cover, the individual electronic PDF preprint footers incorrectly show the volume number as Vol. 51. All PMSE members were mailed an explanatory letter in October 2006 along with a sticker to affix to the CD case. Institutional subscribers were mailed corrected versions of the CD. If you are a library subscriber and would like to request a replacement Vol. 95 CD, or are a member needing a correction sticker, please contact the PMSE Membership Chair. Corrected CDs and CD cases are identifiable by the phrase "revised with correct volume number" and bear a 13-digit ISBN number in addition to a 10-digit ISBN number. This error does not affect the online version of the Preprints.
