WAAC Member Survey
2012

It's your time to tell us what you like, love or loathe about WAAC. You will find a combination of multiple choice questions and open-ended questions that will allow you to respond in detail. The survey should take between 10 - 15 minutes to complete. This is an opportunity to share your thoughts about how WAAC does its work, and what directions it should consider for the future - your input will be very valuable. We look forward to hearing from you.

Annual Meeting

Authors who are submitting an article for publication in the WAAC newsletter are now invited to include a video component, if appropriate. The video component is intended to illustrate a specific section of a written article - serving as a "video illustration". In this sense it is analogous to a traditional figure (a drawing or photograph) in a written article. See Video Submission Guidelines

Half of the backlog of back issues of the WAAC Newsletter are now available online, with the remaining ones to follow in the near future. Beginning with volume 25 (2003), the Newsletter will be presented in PDF.

Feature articles are best read as spreads, for illustration placement, etc., however they are posted as single pages so that they can be printed easily.)

Hard copies are still available and, after we are caught up, we will return to the policy of waiting 6 months after publication to post an issue online, in deference to those who actually pay for the Newsletter.
