Dear Subscribers, As many of you already know, we are unfortunately not even close to our Fund Drive goal of $60,000. In fact, we are still well over $23,000 off of our target with less than a week left of our Fund Drive! Therefore, we were wondering if all of our subscribers who have not yet donated would take the time to fill out this very important questionnaire regarding which LINGUIST List service they would most like to see cut. We understand that this does seem to be a drastic measure, but since we absolutely can not continue our current level of services, nor continue to add features and improve our site without the extra $23,000, we would like your input on which features you do not find quite as important to the advancement of your career and the profession as a whole. Please select 3 from the following list and we will be sure to discontinue them at the end of Fund Drive if you do not donate and we fail to reach our target. SERVICES LINGUIST PROVIDES: -Posting job announcements -Archiving a searchable database of all current job announcements classified by linguistic subfield/language -Posting calls for conference papers -Posting conference announcements -Archiving a searchable database of all current calls and conferences classified by linguistic subfield/language -Posting queries that help linguists conduct research -Posting summaries of answers from those queries so that the discipline can benefit from the answers -Posting discussions regarding various controversial topics that help foster linguistic opinion and discussion -Posting FYI, Media, and Software announcements that help keep linguists around the world abreast of the latest news in the discipline -Maintenance of Noticeboard, a classifieds-style listing specific to the needs of the linguistics community -Posting book and journal table of contents announcements of the majority of linguistic publications -Posting the dissertations of new linguists around the world -Archiving dissertation abstracts and academic papers classified according to linguistic subfield and language -Keeping a large database on linguists around the world, including their specialties and institutions -Support for and creation of the E-MELD project and School of Best Practice, a website that helps linguists learn to document and archive endangered languages to prevent data loss (http://www.emeld.org/school) -Maintenance of the most complete listing of languages in the world -Maintenance of a fully classified database that allows the entire LINGUIST List site searchable according to linguistic subfield and subject language -Support and training of 24 graduate students in linguistics, computer programming, language digitization, and organizational management (the majority of whom go on to further their studies in Ph.D programs). We would like to thank all 629 subscribers who have already donated, and add that they do not have to take part in this questionnaire if they do not wish to -- they have already done more than their share to help support the discipline. For the remaining 18,371 subscribers who have not even been able to find $5.00 to help the cause, we would like to at least know which of our services you feel can be cut. Please address all questionnaires to linguistMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issuelinguistlist.org with "I CAN DO WITHOUT LINGUIST LIST" in the subject line, and include 3 of the above services. Don't see any that you'd like to do without? Well then please donate to the LINGUIST List and help us continue to support you and your career. Thank you, The LINGUIST List
This Year the LINGUIST List hope to raise $60,000. This money will go to help keep the List running, by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year. There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST! You can donate right now using our secure credit card form, at: http://www.linguistlist.org/donate.html You can also pledge right now and pay later, at: http://www.linguistlist.org/pledge.html For all information on donating, including information on how to donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit: http://www.linguistlist.org/donation.html ALREADY PLEDGED? If you have already pledged to LINGUIST and would now like to pay by credit card, please go to: http://linguistlist.org/creditcard-general.html and select 'PAY PREVIOUS PLEDGE' as the Type of Payment from the dropdown list provided. The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor. Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program. Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!Mail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
