Eighteenth-century British author Samuel Johnson once wrote, "Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it."

Since its inception in 1996, MRO Today magazine has strived to be that type of information resource for you, the industrial professional. We provide timely, in-depth, meaningful and user-friendly information, whether the subject is Total Productive Maintenance, lean manufacturing, supply chain management, Six Sigma quality, skills training, ergonomics, etc.

Nearly 140,000 readers count on the information found in every bimonthly issue of MRO Today. But we want to push the envelope, and be even more important to you. One of the ways were doing that is with mrotoday.com, MRO Todays Internet information site, which launched January 15.

Why should you check out, bookmark and regularly visit mrotoday.com?

The MRO Today site includes:

" regularly updated news on purchasing, production, maintenance, engineering, technology, e-commerce, quality and safety issues.

" more than 150 of the best articles from past issues (cover stories; maintenance, procurement, inventory and safety articles; MRO Pro features; Uptime articles, MRO Coach columns; and much more).

" Web-exclusive content dozens of product features, case studies and profiles not available in MRO Todays print version.

" links to more than 60 educational resources (professional organizations, knowledge centers and training providers).

" links to many of the top distributors of MRO products and services.

" an online subscription startup/renewal form for our print publication.

" Product Showcase, which will highlight hot, new tools and other industrial essentials, and allow you to immediately download manufacturer information about the products or receive it by mail via links to our eResponse Web site.

" readers polls on some of todays most pressing issues.

" and, last but not least, our internal search engine for searching within the site, and our external search engine, MRO Explorer, for searching hundreds of sources around the industrial world.

The site, mrotoday.com, is constantly being updated and improved. Since becoming editor in 1998, Ive sought to make MRO Today your magazine.

My goal is the same for mrotoday.com. I want it to be your Web site, your place to find the information you need.
