>   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
> As many of you will know, the SSILA website has a "Learning Aids" page,
> with listings of pedagogical materials--primers, dictionaries, tapes,
> lessons, etc.--for various American Indian languages.  As many of you
> may also know, these listings are terribly out of date.  A great many
> of the books and tapes announced there are no long available, or the
> prices have changed, or the ordering addresses have long since been
> changed.
>
> We are now in the process of reviewing and updating the entire Learning
> Aids page.  To help us in this daunting task, could we ask the following
> of you?
>
> (1) If you know for certain that a listing on the Learning Aids page
> is incorrect in some way, please let us know the specifics.
>
> (2) If you are the publisher or distributor of learning materials on
> some specific language or languages:  please send us a description of
> the materials (books, tapes, CDs, videos, etc.), the prices you are
> asking, and ordering instructions.  If you have a website from which
> these materials can be ordered, please let us know the address.  If
> you accept payments only by mail, let us know the forms of payment
> you accept (check, credit card, etc.)
>
> (3) If you have purchased or otherwise know about some learning
> materials that you would recommend for a particular language:  please
> send us the details, if possible including where the materials can
> be obtained.
>
> (4) If you are reasonably familiar with materials in a certain area
> (e.g., Oklahoma languages) or on a particular group of languages
> (e.g., Athabaskan languages), and have the time to spare, we would
> be *most* grateful if you could serve as a contributing editor for
> the Learning Aids page.
>
> Spearheading this project will be the SSILA website manager, Ardis
> Eschenberg, whom you can contact at <ardisrachel at gmail.com>.  You can
> also contact the Bulletin editor, Victor Golla, at <golla at ssila.org>.
>
> We look forward to hearing from you!
