July 2009 Publisher Bulletin

Dear Supporting Publisher,

Thank you for your continued support of LINGUIST. It was wonderful seeing so many of you at the Linguistics Society of America (LSA) meeting in San Francisco this January. It provided us a great opportunity to discuss publications matters face to face. This March we ran our annual fund-drive, raising funds for LINGUIST List. We were pleased to see how many of you donated prizes to help our cause! We could not have done it without you! A list of publishers who helped us this fund-drive is included in this issue, and we hope to see more of your names on the list in the coming years!

Best Wishes,

Helen & Anthony

Our Selected Features:

Automatic feeds with The LINGUIST List!

Most publishers enter the information for each book or journal Table of Contents (TOC) announcement manually using our web submission forms. Authors usually add the abstracts of their journal articles manually as well. We recognize that this can be rather tedious if you post a large number of announcements, and so LINGUIST offers three options to set up automatic feeds between your publishing group and us:

• Book feed: This automatically provides us information about your new linguistics books, including title, author, ISBN, price and book abstract
• TOC feed: This automatically provides us the table of contents for new linguistics journal issues, including article names, authors and page numbers
• Journal article feed: This automatically provides us with the title, author and abstract of each journal article, and creates a clickable link to the abstract from the TOC announcement (must co-occur with the TOC feed)

Each feed requires that you send us basic information about your latest books, TOCs and journal articles on a regular basis. Our system will read the information and automatically create book and TOC announcements or journal article entries for each new publication. A LINGUIST editor will edit and hand-classify each entry by language and linguistic subfield before posting it to the LINGUIST listserv and website.

All feed subscriptions are inclusive of the annual Supporting Publisher fee, which allows you to post an unlimited number of publications announcements in a single calendar year. As a bonus to publishers who opt for all 3 automatic feeds, the publisher logo is displayed on the LINGUIST homepage and Publications Index.
