With more than 15,000 members in over 80 countries, the American Political Science Association (APSA) has developed a highly professional website – renewed in 2005 – mainly focused on the internal working of this association. Its activities are however extremely broad, ranging from publications and articles to teaching, from conferences and meetings advertising to scholarly networks and career opportunities, with a huge quantity of information provided. As to retrieval services, APSA offers a directory of Associations (worldwide) and PS Departments, research institutes as well as links to academic journals and discussion lists and to PROL (an online repository containing PS conference papers). Although site navigation is free, publication retrieval requires APSA membership. Visitors can yet access tables of contents and some reading samples, as well as selected archive papers, while APSA members can retrieve full-text versions of all APSA publications (APRS – PS – Perspective). APSA members can also access, through an additional registration fee, the historical collection of the American Political Science Review and have some other online services.
