Journal club meetings are held weekly on ???days at ??:?? PM. The LIGO journal club meets at 4:00PM on Fridays in the room 265, 2nd floor of W Bridge. The idea is to bring people together in the afternoon and talk about a recent journal article from PRL, ApJ or the like. Someone is designated as a lead (ensuring someone has read the article!), to initiate the discussion, but not to present slides or give a monologue. The lead should also post a link to the article below, a few days in advance. Preferably, selected articles won't be exceptionally long, and would relate (at least obliquely) to LIGO.

A complete list of CIT e-journals is available at http://library.caltech.edu/.

A script determines each week's presenter, and an automated email will be sent to the list on Monday morning.

== Description ==
The LHO journal club meets at noon on Thursdays in the Large Conference Room of the OSB. The idea is to bring people together over lunch and talk about a recent journal article from PRL, ApJ or the like. Someone is designated as a lead (ensuring someone has read the article!), to initiate the discussion, but not to present slides or give a monologue. The lead should also post a PDF of the article below, a few days in advance. Preferably, selected articles won't be exceptionally long, and would relate (at least obliquely) to LIGO.

/JournalSources - click here for links to a selection of relevant journals (access is through the CIT proxy, so you'll need an ITS account there).

A complete list of CIT e-journals is available at [http://metalib.caltech.edu:8331/V/R3VQPH44RNMJ3BVGIKDF37XAXHLDP3NJD7CA3PA8HSGRKGJNVF-56323?func=find-ej-1 library.caltech.edu].

== Future meetings ==
SURF talks are ~10 minutes plus 10 minutes for questions. The normal journal club discussion will follow.
