Dear H-Net subscribers:

For many of our readers, September brings the advent of a new academic
year; typically, many of you reactivate your subscriptions or join a new
network after a hiatus for research, service, summer teaching, or
vacation. And at this time of year we experience a wave of new
subscriptions especially from instructors seeking to learn and share as
their classes begin.

So, we welcome you to H-Net, whether you are a veteran subscriber
returning to duty, or a new reader just becoming acquainted with what we
do. If you are among the latter, be sure to read the Welcome message
sent you upon subscribing to a list; it contains valuable information
about your postings, subscription management, the list's practices and
editorial policies, and H-Net's policies and procedures.

If you need technical assistance, contact us at helpmail.h-net.msu.edu,
and we'll do our best to assist you.

Let me also remind you that H-Net's free services rely heavily on
donations from our readers and this year, as the economy in the US (and
especially here at our home base in Michigan) struggles to recover, our
needs are great and resources are declining.

If you have not taken the opportunity to donate, please consider doing
so! Tax-deductible contributions can be made online at:

Thank you for supporting H-Net!

Best wishes for a productive and creative semester,

Peter
