Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

LINGUIST List works day in and day out to provide you with 

resources that we think will be beneficial to the discipline 

as a whole. As you have seen from the letters you have been 

reading this fund-drive, we are working on quite a few features 

at any given point of time. Once these features are developed 

we always want to ensure that you, as our users, will be sure 
to 
hear of these developments, and know that they are there 
for you 
to use, free of charge! Thus, we have created a team 
here at 
LINGUIST that is responsible for getting the word out 
about all 
of these new resources that we are creating. 

The publicity team 
here at LINGUIST List comes together whenever 
these projects are 
completed and works closely with the team who 
developed the 
project to determine how best to keep you up to 
date with 
these developments. 

We announce our projects in all 
messages to all of you, 
put the information on the homepage, and 
sometimes feature 
information about these projects on pages that 
are likely to 
be trafficked by users who may be interested in 
these particular 
developments, and more. 

Some of our most recent developments 
highlighted by the publicity 
team were: 

- The development of EasyAbstracts (EasyAbs), a free abstract 

submission and review facility designed to help conference 

organizers and reviewers accept and process abstracts online. 

Available at:

http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/

- Student portal, a facility designed to provide a resource 
for 
domestic and international graduate and undergraduate 
students, 
which provides information on a range of topics, 
including, but 
not limited to:

 - What comprises linguistics

 - The current and future states of linguistics
 - How to decide on a thesis topic

 - How to present your work

 - How to choose a program in linguistics
 - Career opportunities for linguists

 - and much more!

Available at: http://linguistlist.org/studentportal/

- The recent launch of LINGUIST List's new interface, featuring 

new side-bar navigation with easy to follow categories and links 

directly to popular site content, such as job announcements and 

conference calls. This new interface also features a new homepage

with direct links to our RSS feeds, a Google site search, and the 

projects LINGUIST has been working on over the years, such as 

E-MELD, MultiTree and LL-Map. The homepage also features an area 

of featured links - that is, links that our users seem to be 
utilizing 
the most in the areas of research, education, and 
technology.  

To view these and other changes to our site, please see: 

http://linguistlist.org.

We are proud of every project we work on here at LINGUIST, and want 

you as our users to be kept abreast of these developments, and to 

get the most out of our site that you possibly can. As members of 

the publicity team, we are excited to get the word out to everyone 

as best as possible, and we are fortunate to be busy announcing the 

constant stream of new developments here at LINGUIST List. 

However, 
we could not have developed and continue to develop our 
site without 
all of your donations and words of encouragement! 
Please donate 
today, and keep LINGUIST List running as the vibrant 
and growing 
organization that it is today.

To continue to bring all these new features, we need your donations:

Best Wishes,

The LINGUIST List Publicity Team 

-----------------------------------------------------------
This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $65,000. This money will go to help 
keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Space Fund 
Drive 2010 and join us for a great journey!

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to: 
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to 
donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit: 
http://linguistlist.org/donation/

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!
