Seeking AATSEEL Web Reviewers

[Sibelan E. S. Forrester]

Now that fall is here, the traditional season of inspiration and creativity
(according to Pushkin, of course), consider the advantages of writing a
book review for the AATSEEL Web Review Page
<http://clover.slavic.pitt.edu/~aatseel/book-reviews/index.html>:

1)  There are literally hundreds of recent (1994 or later) volumes in our
profession that you could offer to review, in any of the disciplinary
fields germane to the AATSEEL membership,
2)  The deadlines for completion are highly flexible,
3)  Given our bent for electronic media, everything from proposal to
submission of final review can be done by e-mail, meaning you don't even
have to pay for a stamp,
4)  Publication is so rapid as to be practically instant,
5)  The citation on your cv will have that intriguing URL address, making
most of the people likely to read your cv look, and look again, and feel
slightly intimidated.

If you would like to propose a book for review, or if you have any
questions about the process, please contact Sibelan Forrester (editor of
the web review page) at <SFORRES1 at swarthmore.edu>.  If you know Slavists
who do not read this list but SHOULD, especially graduate students writing
dissertations, please inform or remind them of this venue for professional
activity.

And I'll take the opportunity to echo that there are numerous other
opportunities for cooperation and collaboration on the web page:
