Select Which Journals You Wish to Receive by Mail
To indicate your selections, direct your browser to your profile update at http://www.icahdq.org/cgi-shl/twserver.exe/run:memjournals. As of January, the default setting for all members who have not made their selection will be "no journals selected." So be sure to set your preference now!
In last month's issue, we made an announcement to members that they would be able to choose up to two of the three original ICA journals they would receive by mail. A slight change in policy means you will now be able to choose ANY or ALL of the three original journals to be mailed to you. Currently, all three printed ICA journals-the Journal of Communication, Human Communication Research, and Communication Theory-are mailed automatically to ICA members. Starting in January, members will be able to choose which journals they will receive by mail. The new journal, Communication, Culture, & Critique, will be mailed to everyone during its inaugural year. All journals will remain accessible online to all active members.
TOC Email Alerts
Did you know you can access ICA journal table of contents online anytime, or sign up to receive TOC email alerts for any of the journals automatically? Just click on each journal's Table of Contents link at http://www.icahdq.org/publications/journals.asp. The link to subscribe to the email service at Blackwell Synergy is on the left. They will send you a notice as each new issue is released once you have signed up.
Section and Research Forums
As you may know, Division and Interest Group Forums and a Research Collaboration Forum were launched in September 2007. Unfortunately, there has been very little activity on those sites. Developed for members wishing to create a more interactive online experience, the sites offer members the opportunity to create topics for discussion or to respond to others' topics. The Research Collaboration Forum, open to all members, is a good place to ask for anyone interested in joint research projects or perhaps for sharing ideas about existing research. If you haven't paid a visit, take a moment to explore the forums and start a topic for discussion! You can access the forums by logging in to MyICA and looking to the lower right side of the page. You should see a list of the sections you belong to and just above is a drop-down list with the corresponding forums. Contact Deandra Harris at membership@icahdq.org or Sam Luna at sluna@icahdq.org if you have any questions or suggestions.
Now that you have paid your dues for the 2007-2008 membership year - and we know you've taken care of that, haven't you? - don't forget you can get a receipt online in the MyICA Account Manager by clicking "My Account Summary" and then the latest Invoice number. Once you are there, just print the page.
