This essay is based on our experience with Dear Habermas throughout the Spring of 2000 and the Fall of 2001. Our students have lost their shyness over writing. We have poets, essayists, painters, sculptors, musicians. At last Dear Habermas becomes the student publication it set out to be.

In this section we will explore the factors that make it easy for you to create and publish here and elsewhere. And we will explore the skills we need to develop to maintain the highest standards we can.

To this end I started this file with Contests, Conferences, and Journals for History Majors Sources for Writers. I didn't find much that helped on this site because they seem to have used a straight hardcopy journal format. But I did explore a little and find Topics: An Online Magazine for Learners of English They share some of our ideas, such as publishing short pieces that provide a forum for a cohesive group. Unfortunately, they do not seem to focus on the academic nature of the discourse. But visit the site, and see what you can garner that might help us. I was especially interested in Topics' Special Issue on Globalization.

I did check out The DePaul Undergraduate Journal Looked at Volume 1, Number 1, and liked the Table of Contents, but none of the articles are online, and the date is 1998, with no issues up since then. One of the problems with the Web is the casualness with which people start and stop projects. We'll need to think about and talk about the responsibilities of a journal like Dear Habermas to "institutionalize" or provide for the future of our journal. Be sure to check dates when you're on the Web, and think about this very real issues about to confront us.

One thing that looked like we could usefully study it was the Review Guidelines of the DePaul Undergraduate Journal
