Congratulations to Anthony and the MJE editorial team on a brilliant initiative! I commend especially the intention "to attract both academics and non-academics." So much knowledge is never disseminated beyond a narrow academic audience. The MJE has a wonderful reader-friendly interface that's irresistable. Bravo. Jean

> Dear colleague,

>
>
> After 42 years as a subscriber-funded, print journal, the McGill
> Journal of Education is now online, open-access, and free at
> http://mje.mcgill.ca/.
> Please visit our site and register as a reader (and reviewer, if
> you are willing). The Table of Contents for 42.1 is below.

> This evolution in our practice and presence reflects a number of
> commitments from McGill's Faculty of Education and the MJE's
> Editorial Board. First, we support the open-access movement that is
> currently transforming the academic publishing world. Digital
> technology makes it possible for us to realize our conviction that
> knowledge should be widely and easily available, particularly
> knowledge produced for no financial gain by academics in tax-
> supported institutions. Second, we believe that journals have a
> duty to seek out the widest possible readership for the authors
> they publish. Again, the technology now provides opportunities for
> us to carry out that conviction. Third, we hope to use hypertext
> technology to situate the MJE in the immense web of internet
> knowledge. The intertextuality manifest in the bibliographies of
> print articles can now become immediate, alive, and multimodal.
> Finally, the online MJE allows us to decrease our impact on the
> environment by reducing our use of paper and doing without the
> transportation needed to move print journals from McGill to
> subscribers.
>
>
> We remain committed to high quality scholarship in English and
> French, and will continue to send manuscripts to at least two
> reviewers. We invite you to consider submitting manuscripts to us,
> with a new and broader readership in mind. With our presence
> online, we expect and hope to attract both academics and non-
> academics, and we are asking authors to write for a thoughtful,
> concerned, but perhaps non-specialist reader - one who might need
> slightly more background or context than scholars in your field,
> and possibly some definitions for key words.
>
>
>
> Please circulate this note to colleagues in your own institution
> and beyond who might be interested in reading and writing for the
> MJE. And contact me
>
> ([log in to unmask]) if you have questions, comments, concerns,
> or suggestions.
