In 2011, inform, the AOCS member magazine, focused on increasing the value of its content. A more active edi-torial advisory committee was formed to take a fresh look at the magazine and the topics it covers, and inform partnered with allied associations and other groups to secure geographical and global market updates in response to feedback that was received during the most recent readership survey. The content of the digital edition was also enhanced—at essentially no additional cost—by adding a supplement section that provides a higher level of detail for some articles as well as an extras section that off ers additional content.
