J.A.NEws

Updated February 7, 1997

Site address news:

Those of you who have bookmarked the ASJAS page at

http://virtual.park.uga.edu/~jausten

may want to reset that to

http://www.uww.edu/langlit/JAusten

The site at the University of Wisconsin gets updated faster, so a reset will make your new bookmark cutting-edge.

Two items of consumer interest:

A cd called "Piano Classics from the World of Jane Austen" is available for $15, plus $1 shipping and handling from Karlyn M. Bond, 2441 Evening Star Drive, Salt Lake City, UT 84124.

Also, Tearoom Tours of Britain is arranging "The Jane Austen Tour" to England on May 10-18th, 1997. You can get information on this from a website at

http://www.neca.com/~teatours

or you can email Carolyn Carpenter-Meister at

teatours@neca.com

In other business:

We are looking for people willing to write for the site. If you want to review books/articles or to contribute an article and need information, please contact Emily Hipchen via email at

hipchene@uwwvax.uww.edu

Articles should be under 5,000 words. Send your entry via email to the address above, or by post to Emily Hipchen, Department of Languages and Literatures, 435 Heide Hall, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Whitewater, WI 53190. You may send disks formatted for either Macintosh or IBM (IBM preferable), in a word processing program compatible with WordPerfect 6.0. To be safe, you may want to save your work in an ASCII DOS text file. Citations should be either MLA style or Chicago Manual style.

Reviewers may contact Emily Hipchen at the email or postal address above. Review articles should be very short (check out the archives for an example), and should address publications written in the last two years. Reviews may cover either scholarly articles or books.

And just a note: we love (LOVE) interdisciplinary work, so if you're doing something outside academe, you can (should) certainly contribute too.

Okay, that's all I can think of. Be sure to let us know what you think, or what you'd like to see (or what you can't see because the colors aren't set right). Thanks for your interest, and you may be excited to know that we don't want any dues yet. :)

Thanks again for visiting the page!
