Dear LINGUIST List readers,

We're back to tell you more about the copious
resources for research on the LINGUIST site!

First, if you're doing language documentation research 
or your research is more technical in nature, you should 
visit our School of Best Practices.
(http://emeld.org/school/toolroom/software/index.cfm)

For technical tips, try Ask-an-Expert: 
http://emeld.org/school/ask-expert/index.html

Please help keep these services free!
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

In addition, all of our projects can be used to bolster 
your research. First, MultiTree is a searchable database 
of hypotheses on language relationships. This is a must-see 
for anyone interested in the relationships between 
languages and language families:
http://multitree.org/

If you are working to encode any linguistic concepts 
with your data, consult the General Ontology for Linguistic 
Description (GOLD)! 
http://linguistics-ontology.org/

Not sure how this works? Poke around the GOLD site, or read 
about metadata and other useful information in our school 
of best practices:
http://emeld.org/school/readingroom/index.html

Finally, if your research could benefit from the use of 
spatial information, you may want to check out LL-MAP, our 
language mapping project:

http://www.llmap.org/

We hope you have learned a little bit more about what LINGUIST 
has to offer. Please show your support today!
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

So once you've finished your research, how can you use LINGUIST 
to make the most of your career? Stay tuned for the next letter 
on LINGUIST's resources for professional development.

Enjoy our resources!

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000. 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 Fund 
Drive 2012 site!

http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2012/

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:

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!
