Publications Office

2001-2002 Annual Report

Thomas A. Holland

The staff of the Publications Office for this year consisted of Thomas Holland and Thomas Urban in the Editorial Office and Curtis Myers in the Sales Office. We were also fortunate to have the assistance of graduate students Katherine Strange Burke, Dennis Campbell, Thomas Dousa, Munira Khayyat, Adam Miglio, and Leslie Schramer. Catherine Dueñas and Emily Napolitano continued to assist on a number of projects. Ruth Welte was a pleasure to work with. Jean Grant and John Larson provided invaluable assistance as always. Charles E. Jones loaned the Editorial Office a much-needed computer during summer 2002 when we found ourselves with more workers than computers. And John Sanders kept our computers on-line and web pages up-to-date.

Aside from the production of the Oriental Institute's serial monographs, we continued preparing News & Notes and the Annual Report for press. The experimental electronic distribution of two titles (see below) has gone quite well, judging by the consistent number of "hits" to their web pages.
