Newsletter
Cervantes Society of
America
|
From Emporia State University and the Flint Hills of Kansas, we take pleasure in sending our most cordial greetings. This is the first newsletter from our new academic home, and as you can imagine, with the move of records and papers, not to mention the inevitable challenges of assuming a new post and learning the intricacies of a new institution, there will no doubt be delays and confusions in our handling of correspondence, replies to mail, etc. We would, however, like to take this opportunity to urge all of you, most emphatically, to check the number next to your name on the mailing label. The number should read '97 or later. In January of 1998, we will remove all names dated '96 or earlier and place them on the inactive list. At the present time, a quick survey of the records shows about 40 members paid only through '95 (thus now owing $40, or $20 if students) and well over 70 members paid through '96 (thus in arrears $20 or $10 if students); this represents something over $3,000.00 in shortfall for the CSA Treasury. Clearly, if you have any questions about your dues and membership status, please don't hesitate to contact us immediately. As noted in the previous newsletter, our new address, phone, and e-mail are as follows:
| Dr. William H. Clamurro, Chair | office phone: 316-341-5519 |
| Division of Foreign Languages | e-mail: clamurrw@esumail.emporia.edu |
| Emporia State University | |
| Emporia, KS 66801-5087 | FAX: 316-341-5681 |
Despite the inconveniences and distractions of our recent move, messages
from many of you who have kept in close touch have arrived, and we thank
you for news about your projects and recent publications.

It was recently announced that Eduardo Urbina has resigned as the official
Bibliographer of the CSA. He does, however, continue to pursue other Cervantes
bibliography projects; for example, he informs us that the Cervantes
International Bibliobraphy Online (CIBO), part of the Cervantes Project at
Texas A & M, has been updated as of August 15th, 1997. It contains 1,860
annotated records plus reviews, from 1994 to 1997. If your own publications
from those dates are not there or if you wish to include an annotation, make
additions or corrections, please inform Prof. Urbina as soon as possible.
Vol. 2 of the Anuario Bibliográfico Cervantino (1996-97) is
now nearing completion, and any additional contributions would be
appreciated—as also would any information for the Cervantes 20th
Century Bibliography, for which Prof. Urbina still needs c.v.'s,
offprints, indices, etc., covering your pre-1994 publications. Please contact
Dr. Urbina at (e-mail): e-urbina@tamu.edu.
Once again, we wish all of you a most stimulating and enjoyable academic
year, we look forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming meetings, and
we especially look forward to receiving your dues payments very soon! Warmest
best wishes.
