4. How can I tell if my institution has subscribed? How do I get my institution to subscribe?

   If your institution has an online subscription to the journal, you should be able to view the full text of the current issue of the journal. You can tell if your librarian has activated the electronic version, if you see a button at the top of the page confirming you're signed in as part of an institution. If you would like to have an institutional subscription, or to request they activate the online version, please contact your local librarian.

5. Will I still be able to get the paper version? And for how long?

   Yes, individuals and institutions will continue to be able to receive the paper version for the foreseeable future.
