REMINDER
All colleagues are reminded that RICHARD BURGESS is offering a SERVICE TO
INFORM CANADIAN GRADUATE STUDENTS STUDYING ABROAD OF JOBS IN CANADIAN
CLASSICS DEPARTMENTS. Those who have access to the CCB/BCEA will be
automatically informed, but many others do not have access to the InterNet.
Please be sure to inform any doctoral students you may know of these
services. If you know of anyone who is interested, please have them
contact me at the Department of Classical Studies, University of Ottawa, 30
Stewart St., Ottawa, K1N 6N5. The cost (for those without access to the
InterNet) is $5 a year to cover photocopying and postage. Last year a
subscriber to my service obtained a job that she otherwise would not have
known about. It does work!
