[Air-l] Maastricht papers

[Anna Buchta]

Dear Jeremy,
Dear all,

I agree entirely with Steve. I also think making the papers available for 
people like me - who are at the very beginning of their research work, - would 
be very much useful. I'm not a full AoIR member yet (still need to find out 
what it's worth), I'm still looking for subjects, inspirations etc. Perhaps I 
could contribute next year in Toronto? Getting the access to this year's 
papers would let me find out more about the topics, quality, research methods, 
expectations of the audience etc.
Let me know what you think -

Greetings,
Anna

Hi Jeremy,

Your about the availability of the Maastricht papers is rather disappointing
to those of us who attended & presented at the conference, but (for whatever
reason(s)) aren't AoIR members. 

If I understand correctly I don't have access to the papers - something
apparently confirmed by trying to visit the site. This approach is somewhat
unusual. AoIR 3.0 is the first conference I have attended where I have not
had access to the papers either at or after the event. If it is necessary to
restrict access to papers to the members (though, I suspect a bigger service
to members would be to maintain a site where access to their papers were
open to all, but that's another discussion), can I suggest that they are
also distributed on CD-ROM, at least to those conference attendees who are
not AoIR members? It's a rather frustrating conclusion to what was an
enjoyable event.

Steve
