On-Line Dues Renewal: A New TMS Member ServiceThis week, TMS launched a new web site that allows members a more convenient way to renew their memberships and journal subscriptions through the secure environment of TMS OnLine’s members-only sector. To use the new service, go to the members-only sector, log in, and hit the renewal button in the main menu. The renewal form allows members to securely renew TMS membership, to update membership records, and to renew subscriptions to JOM, Journal of Electronic Materials, Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A&B, and other AIME journals. The on-line renewal form calculates the total cost of these activities and allows members to pay securely by credit card. The bill is customized based on membership status, previous account activity, and even nationality. If you prefer to renew your membership and subscriptions through the mail, renewal notices have also been sent out. If you need any assistance in renewing your membership, you may contact membership customer service at 724-776-9000, ext. 241 or castello@tms.org.
