These papers are not yet online as no one has volunteered to get them 
there yet and Jeremy who will do it is swamped with other 
responsibilities right now. They will be up there when the remodeled 
member site is ready.

The archives are only available to AoIR members. Access to the 
archives is a benefit of membership, not a component of conference 
registration. For information on becoming a member, visit the URL at 
the very end of this message. We realize that people who attend a 
conference but are not members are sometimes disgruntled with this. 
However, the archives include all five conferences we have had, not 
just the most recent one, and the membership fees are low and include 
a variety of discounts on journal subscriptions and books as well as 
archive access.
