I list just the recommendations below: ************** 1. The SEM Newsletter should be distributed by electronic mail. 2. SEM should endorse and adopt the current bibliography already available at Middlebury College as its own official bibliography, and furthermore should consider expanding it. 3. An up-to-date membership list for SEM should be available online. 4. SEM should promote the distribution of information pertaining to undergraduate and graduate programs in ethnomusicology. 5. An electronic journal option should not be considered at this stage. Instead, more experimentation with the electronic medium is recommended, starting perhaps with the distribution of abstracts of articles appearing in the journal "Ethnomusicology". 6. An "electronic" membership category for SEM should not be considered at this stage. 7. An SEM electronic communication committee should be set up to advise the Board on the implementation of any recommendations it may deem appropriate. Such a committee should monitor forthcoming editions of the bulletin to assess its development, and should consider carefully the suggestion that an alternative electronic journal be created -- a journal in its own right: one that does not duplicate materials published elsewhere in the ethnomusicological literature. ************** Rather than list the full discussion behind these points here, I suggest instead that those interested in reading the report in its entirety should acquire it from listserv. [KIPPEN REPORT] I suppose as dedicated network users we are all a bit miffed at the apparent rebuttal by the Board of most of these recommendations. (I am assured by "highly-placed sources" that the mood of the Board was more positive than their decisions suggest.) However, we perhaps ought to remind ourselves that most members of SEM are still unfamiliar with the electronic medium and do not yet understand its advantages. There will inevitably be many other problems, particularly with the electronic publication of articles from "Ethnomusicology"; that's why I made alternative suggestions, hoping to draw in new subscribers to the network and promote more discussion. SEM no doubt has some valid objections, but in my opinion rather than simply *confront* them we need to work this out *with* them. To this end I invite you all to respond publicly on this network (or privately to me directly, if you feel that's more appropriate) so that we can put together the best possible arguments for the expansion of SEM into the electronic world. My last invitation to a debate in EthnoFORUM was met with near silence, so let's not allow that to happen again. I am now chairing a committee that will meet in Chicago to put together further arguments/recommendations to the Board. Your ideas and advice will be invaluable in persuading those in charge of our discipline to move with us into the 21st century. Like you I guess I am eagerly awaiting Mark Slobin's letter to the network.

MuTeX is a more or less standalone package. I guess you can use it within other TeX stuff, but I assume you might have troubles if you use LaTeX. Anyway, here is how to get it: How to get MuTeX.tar.Z and MuTeXfonts.tar.Z from the archive at Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University: NOTE: In the following I have assumed your mail address is john@highbrow.edu. Of course you must substitute your own address for this. This should be a valid internet or uucp address.
