Dunn also notes that the recent strength of the dollar against other currencies has made CA very expensive for some overseas subscribers. This year, CAS eliminated the additional postage charges for overseas subscribers and began air shipping copies to many overseas destinations to speed delivery. About two thirds of CA subscribers are overseas. CA subscribers will still be able to search the CAS Online files on STN International at substantially reduced rates and, in addition, will be entitled to subscribe to CA Section Groupings and CA Selects at reduced rates in 1985. They also will continue to have the option of receiving weekly G4 issues on microfilm or microfiche at no additional cost. Subscription prices for CA Section Groupings in 1985 will be $190 to ACS members, $1000 to CA subscribers, and $1100 to others. CA Selects will be $100 to CA subscribers, $110 to others. Chemical Titles will be $120 for ACS members, $295 for nonmembers, and Chemical Industry Notes (CIN) will be priced at $1100 with indexes, $925 for issues only. Standard charges for the CAS document delivery service will be $13 per document if a CA abstract number or CIN extract number is used to identify the document in the request, $15 if these numbers are not used. Prices quoted do not apply in Japan. Prices in Japanese yen will be announced at a later date. A complete 1985 price list for CAS Services may be obtained from CAS Customers Services, P.O.
