Limnology and Oceanography e-Books
Web-based books are a recent addition to ASLO's portfolio of print and electronic publications. "eBooks" first appeared more than 15 years ago, and many thousands of printed books now appear in electronic format as well. A growing number of books now appear in electronic format only. The World Public Library now lists more than 500,000 eBooks in 125 collections. The aquatic sciences have enthusiastically embraced electronic journals, but electronic books dealing with limnology and oceanography remain rare. ASLO's intention is to promote the aquatic sciences by embracing the publication of eBooks.
Eco-DAS VIII Symposium Proceedings
ASLO's second eBook publication is the proceedings of the Ecological Dissertations in the Aquatic Sciences (Eco-DAS) VIII symposium. Eco-DAS continues the series of symposia formerly known as DIALOG I-VII (Dissertations Initiative for the Advancement of Limnology and Oceanography), but takes that series in new directions.
Eco-DAS funding is provided by NSF with contributions from ONR, NASA and NOAA. Eco-DAS is sponsored by the Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education (C-MORE), the University of Hawai`i School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) and its Department of Oceanography, and the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO). The Proceedings includes nine highly interdisciplinary, collaborative chapters totaling 165 pages. All chapters are freely available for download, thanks to the U.S. National Science Foundation.
