Bibliography

[Catherine Rudin]

  Thanks for taking this on!  I do think it's important to include
  non-published material, and I'd definitely favor limiting it to
  linguistic topics.

Dear fellow Siouan list members,


        Last weekend I was in Kansas at the Mid-America conference and while
talking with Bob Rankin, I somehow managed to volunteer to edit and do
a final compilation of the much sought after master Siouan
bibliography.  Bob gave me Pamela Munro's bibliography which she
compiled in 1988 and he updated to an extent last year.

        Before much more work is undertaken on this task, some formatting
questions need to be answered.  The most important of which is what
should be included.  Since much of the last 30 years of work on Siouan
sits in peoples file cabinets, I'm hesitant to include it in the main
section of the bibliography.  I propose the following format:


        The first section will include published material;


        The second section will include presentations with

        manuscripts that people are willing to have circulated;



        The third section will include papers that were presented


        that don't have written manuscripts or only exist in the form of raw

        data and/or notes.


I'd like to include this third section just so people know what others
have worked on.

        In addition, I'd like to know what type of material people think
should be included in the bibliography.  Bob proposed to limit it to
linguistic material only (this would include word lists but not
strictly anthropological material).  This will keep the size much more
manageable.

        Once these questions are resolved, I'll ask for current copies of CVs
form everyone along with other bibliographical material.  Please let me
know what you think since this is meant to be useful to everyone and
your input will affect its outcome.


Thanks,



John Boyle
