Dear colleagues, The poor and unemployed among us may be interested to know that the MLA has finally created a website where, among other things, the quarterly MLA joblist is (or is to be?) published on-line: http://www.mla.org The October joblist was due on 17 october, but since the on-line version is password protected for subscribers only and since I did not yet receive my password I cannot say whether the electronic version is already on-line. Subscribed members who want to check it should make sure to use the version "with frames", because the optional "no frames" version seems to be outdated (it only leads to a page which announces the joblist as forthcoming, whereas the frames version leads to the log-in screen). Persons not yet subscribed can use a subscription form at the same website, but it seems advisable to send an additional email to <[log in to unmask]> or to Cymone Quarrie <[log in to unmask]> if you want to try to hurry up things, because otherwise your password will be sent to you only by snail-mail together with the printed publication of the job-list which may take another couple of weeks. Needless to express my best wishes that you will all get the beautiful positions which you surely deserve, so that you can afford to leave at least one of the less beautiful for my humble and desperate self!
