AALAS has completed the integration of the Ingenta journal services to www.aalas.org. Readers of Comparative Medicine and JAALAS online will access the content from www.aalas.org the same way as before and will find better search functionality and PDF articles with linked references.
In addition, article abstracts are now accessible to the more than 19 million users and 25,000 registered libraries and institutions that log on directly to Ingenta each month at www.ingentaconnect.com.
To access JAALAS and Comparative Medicine, the same rules apply—Gold members have access to both publications, and Silver members have access only to JAALAS. After an issue is six months old, it becomes available to all members and the general public. Also, be advised that only content back to 2006 is available from the Ingenta system. To access older content, users must search the old article database.
Please send email to journals@aalas.org if you have any questions or comments.

The Certification and Registry Board Committee has been hard at work updating the content outlines for the certification exams. Rather than the three previous domains (Animal Husbandry, Health and Welfare; Facility Administration and Management; and General Knowledge), the new content outlines now combine this information into two domains: Animal Husbandry, Health and Welfare, and Facility Administration and Management.
Approximately 80% of the ALAT and LAT exams will cover Animal Husbandry, Health and Welfare, and approximately 20% will cover Facility Administration and Management. The LATG content outline is comprised of the same two domains: Animal Husbandry, Health and Welfare, and Facility Administration and Management. However, unlike the ALAT and LAT exams, the questions are divided evenly between the two domains.
Although the exam content outline has been revised, please be aware that the exam questions for the ALAT, LAT, and LATG certification levels have not changed. The study materials that have been available to order through our Bookstore and through the AALAS Learning Library are still current.
