Publication of issue 1.2 of GENDER AND LANGUAGE

[Jane Sunderland]

Dear all

I would just like to express my thanks and support to Bonnie and Sara
for all their work with journal, in terms of making it both of a high
academic standard and economically viable.

 I would also like to endorse Bonnie's request that we all try to
increase the institutional subscriptions. Sometimes, as Bonnie says,
this is done through a librarian; sometimes through a Head of
Department; sometimes through a Departmental Board meeting.

It is indeed often the case that a new journal can only be subscribed to
if an old one is cancelled, or 'laid down'. Why not encourage your
Department (or your Library Rep, if you have one) to have a review of
the journals your Department (or University) subscribes to? There may be
some questionable ones. And, of course, 'Gender and Language' is
extremely inexpensive, compared to some (*always* a point worth making
in these sorts of discussions), hence very good value.

Best to all

Jane

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce the publication of the second issue (1.2) of
GENDER AND LANGUAGE.  It is now available on-line, with hard copy soon
to follow.  

Subscription numbers from individuals have been solid.  Our thanks to
IGALA members for their support!

We do, however, need to attract more institutional subscriptions in the
next few years.  We currently have 27.  This is understood as a solid
start, for a first year.  Nonetheless, our goal is to get 100 in the
next two years. Please do contact your local librarian, and ask for
their support.

Often, librarians will only add a new journal if an older subscription
is cut; this may be a moment to review the list of subscriptions you
have in related areas, and identify any journals that are less widely
read. Sometimes,  librarians prefer to add journals that are "bundled"
with others.  If there are any other concerns about subscription, it
would be helpful for us to flush these out.

Thanks for your support of the journal in its first year!

Best,
Bonnie
