************************************** * BRITARCH-EDITING * ************************************** PLEASE SAVE THIS MESSAGE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, IT CONTAINS VITAL INFORMATION ================================================================ Welcome to BRITARCH-EDITING ================================================================ This list is devoted to the circulation of information, queries and general discussion of issues relating to archaeological publication in Britain, including topics arising from editing, indexing, printing, marketing, etc. You may find it useful to take time to read the results of the 'Publication User Needs Survey', published in 2001 by the Council for British Archaeology and available online at http://www.britarch.ac.uk/pubs/puns/index.html as this deals with much of the historical background to modern archaeological publication principles in Britain and Ireland, and also makes some recommendations on how these principles may change in future. The CBA also runs occasional seminars for editors and others with a direct interest in archaeological publication and material from the most recent seminar is available online at http://www.britarch.ac.uk/pubs/editing/index.html. Thank you for joining, and we look forward to hearing from you. ================================================================ Web Pages ================================================================ The JISCmail homepage is at: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/ and this list appears on the web at: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/britarch-editing.html ================================================================ List Netiquette ================================================================ As a JISCmail user you MUST abide by the JISCmail Acceptable Use Policy (http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/docs/policy.htm) There are also some general guidelines on using lists at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/docs/guidelines.htm And here are some guidelines for this list - Send all messages to the list using plain text.
