This issue of A&A proudly features 15 articles presenting the first results of the XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the Taurus molecular cloud (XEST), which used the most sensitive combination of X-ray instruments presently available, the European Photon Imaging Cameras (EPIC) and the Reflection Grating Spectrometers (RGS), together with the Optical Monitor (OM) onboard the ESA mission XMM-Newton to study the properties of the young stellar population in the cloud.

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

• If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
• You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
• You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
