The National Academies�National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of
Engineering, Institute of Medicine, and National Research Council�are
committed to distributing their reports to as wide an audience as
possible. Since 1994 we have offered �Read for Free� options for almost
all our titles. In addition, we have been offering free downloads of most
of our titles to everyone and of all titles to readers in the developing
world. We are now going one step further. Effective June 2nd, PDFs of
reports that are currently for sale on the National Academies Press (NAP)
Website and PDFs associated with future reports* will be offered free of
charge to all Web visitors.
For more than 140 years, the NAS, NAE, IOM, and NRC have been advising the
nation on issues of science, technology, and
medicine<http://www.nap.edu/topicpage.php?topic=288&icn=Keyword+links&ici=medicine>.
Like no other collection of organizations, the Academies enlist the
nation�s foremost scientists, engineers,
health<http://www.nap.edu/topicpage.php?topic=288&icn=Keyword+links&ici=health>professionals,
and other experts to address the scientific and technical
aspects of society�s most pressing problems. The results of their work are
authoritative and independent studies published by the National Academies
Press.
NAP produces more than 200 books a year on a wide range of topics in
science,
engineering<http://www.nap.edu/topicpage.php?topic=284&icn=Keyword+links&ici=engineering>,
and health, capturing the best-informed views on important issues.
We invite you to visit the NAP homepage <http://www.nap.edu/> and
experience the new opportunities available to access our publications.
There you can sign up for MyNAP, a new way for us to deliver all of our
content for free to loyal subscribers like you and to reward you with
exclusive offers and discounts on our printed books. This enhancement to
our free downloads means that we can reach out even further to inform
government decision making and public policy, increase public education
and understanding, and promote the acquisition and dissemination of
knowledge.
*There are a small number of reports that never had PDF files and,
therefore, those reports are not available for download. In addition, part
of the series, �Nutrient Requirements of Domestic Animals� are not be
available in PDF and future titles in this series will also not have PDFs
associated with them.
