Faculty & Grad Instructors: Book Orders for Spring 2011 Courses Due.
Copy of Blank Book Order Form-1.xls
Notes from Laura:
-Please complete one form for each course, and email your order as an attachment to me at Domin047@umn.edu by Wednesday, October 27, 2010.
-Let me know whether or not you need a personal desk copy. I will be requesting copies for your TAs.
- I submit a request to the publisher for desk copies after I receive your completed order form. It can take weeks to obtain desk copies, so the earlier I get the order, the earlier you and your TAs will have copies of the books. Desk copies cannot be guaranteed for faculty and instructors if the deadline for book orders is not met.
-If your course is cross-listed, include all department names on your order form so that all sections of the course will have books ordered.
- Include the ISBN of the edition you want . If the ISBN is incorrect, you may end up with a different edition of the book.
-If you are NOT ordering books or ordering a packet instead, be sure to let me know.
Bookstore guidelines:
-Submitting book orders before Fall 2010 Finals Week gives the bookstore the opportunity to pay students the best price for their books during buyback.
- If you delete or change books for your course after they have shipped from the publisher, your research account will be charged for return fees.
-If know you will be using a book in the future, please indicate when that is. This allows the bookstore to plan to purchase used copies, saving students money.
- Be sure to specify whether the book is Required (R) or Optional (O).

The National Archives announces a new 2011 Regional Residency Fellowship
The National Archives announces a new 2011 Regional Residency Fellowship to give researchers the opportunity to conduct original research at National Archives locations. A $3000 stipend will be awarded for a total of 5 fellowships. Academic historians are encouraged to apply. The application deadline is November 15, 2010.
The National Archives announces a new 2011 Regional Residency Fellowship
The National Archives, with the generous support of the National Archives Foundation, announces a new program designed to give researchers the opportunity to conduct original research using records held at National Archives locations in Atlanta, Chicago, Kansas City, Philadelphia and Seattle. This is an opportunity for researchers to explore often overlooked records held by the National Archives and to experience what many researchers have discovered - that you do not have to go to Washington, D.C. to do research at the National Archives.
For 2011, one fellow will be assigned to each of the participating National Archives locations, for a total of five fellowships. Each fellow will receive a $3,000.00 stipend to assist with travel and research expenses.
Stipend recipients will be expected to complete a research project that results in a publishable work product. In addition, within one year of receiving the fellowship, recipients will be asked to prepare a short report for publication by the National Archives that describes the research experience - the discovery, method, and use of the records at whatever location the fellow is working at.
The use of social media tools to spread information about the experience is encouraged. Fellows will also be asked to conduct a staff briefing at the end of their research visit to share information regarding what was found during the research process.
Academic and independent historians, public and local historians, and writers are encouraged to apply. Current National Archives employees, contractors, paid interns, or their immediate family members are not eligible.
APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY EMAIL OR POSTMARKED BY NOVEMBER 15, 2010.
Applications should include:
* A description and justification for the project, not to exceed six pages. This proposal should include:
o a description of consultation with a regional archivist regarding the records to be used for research (there should be enough records to warrant a research visit of at least one week);
o a listing of the records that will be used at the region;
o the proposed final product; and
o the significance of the project to historical scholarship.
* In addition to the proposal, the application should also include:
o Copy of Vita (no more than three pages) including current contact information; and
o Two letters of recommendation
Applications should be sent by mail or electronic mail directly to the NARA facility the researcher intends to use for the fellowship:
