Ordering Procedure

Subscribing to The Biological Bulletin Online is a two-step process:

First, you must follow your usual "new serial" ordering procedures to subscribe to The Biological Bulletin, ISSN 0006-3185. Payment should be made to your subscription agent or directly to the MBL.

Second, once the MBL has received payment from you or your vendor, you will receive a letter with instructions for obtaining access to the online edition; the letter will direct you to a subscription activation form. You will be asked to provide the following information necessary to activate your subscription to The Biological Bulletin Online:

Institution's IP Address(es)
[CRITICAL INFORMATION ABOUT IP ADDRESSES -- READ THIS]

Contact name, title, phone, fax, and email

Customer number (included with the letter, or contact the lreuter{at}mbl.edu)

Your institution will not have access to the full Biological Bulletin Online until you complete this second step.
