I want to thank the members of a project team (see "ONS Connect Project Team") that was assembled to guide the redesign process for their thoughtful assessment of the current ONS News and readers' comments as well as their recommendations for what content to keep, revise, and add. I also want to acknowledge the commitment of Sharon Padezanin, senior staff editor, who has worked tirelessly to simultaneously maintain the production of the ONS News and coordinate the production of ONS Connect.

I prefer bound textbooks to CD ROMs, and I rarely read online journals. The majority of members who responded to our reader surveys indicated that they still want a print publication as well. Therefore, we will continue publishing a monthly news magazine that is mailed to your home, with an electronic version being available on the ONS Web site. I am proud of the ONS News and believe the format has served us well. I also am looking forward to our exciting redesign. I am eager to hear your reaction as well.
