We are glad to announce that the first issue of 2008 of the International Journal of Speleology is now online in our website www.ijs.speleo.it. This issue, 37(1), is a special issue dedicated to Karst Hydrogeology in Caves, guest-edited by Bartolomé Andreo (Malaga, Spain). I would like to thank Bartolomé for his outstanding work on behalf of the entire IJS community.

 
I would also like to let you know that IJS will now publish accepted articles online before the paper versions will be printed. This allows to speed up the publishing process, and I hope this will make publishing in IJS more appealing.
