About the HEPNames Database
HEPNames attempts to be a comprehensive directory of people involved in High-Energy Physics and related fields. We compile information from numerous sources, primarily laboratory directories and user supplied information. If you have some concerns about information on your record, see the "corrections" link on the right, or email us at hepnames@slac.stanford.edu.
The Physics-Astronomy-Mathematics (PAM) Division of the Special Libraries Association maintains an electronic discussion group (formerly known as a listserv) which is referred to as "PAMnet".
A consortium facilitates Open Access publishing in High Energy Physics by re-directing subscription money. This answers the request of the High Energy Physics community.
Today: (funding bodies through) libraries buy journal subscriptions to support the peer-review service and allow their patrons to read articles.
Tomorrow: funding bodies and libraries contribute to the consortium, which pays centrally for the peer-review service. Articles are free to read for everyone.

The SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is a Digital Library portal for researchers in Astronomy and Physics, operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) under a NASA grant. The ADS maintains three bibliographic databases containing more than 7.2 million records: Astronomy and Astrophysics, Physics, and arXiv e-prints. The main body of data in the ADS consists of bibliographic records, which are searchable through highly customizable query forms, and full-text scans of much of the astronomical literature which can be browsed or searched via our full-text search interface. Integrated in its databases, the ADS provides access and pointers to a wealth of external resources, including electronic articles, data catalogs and archives. We currently have links to over 7.9 million records maintained by our collaborators.
