Access to search the JIL is free to graduate students and faculty members in departments that are members of the ADE or the ADFL. If your department is a member, it can provide you with the department ID and password to log in at the ADE or ADFL Web site. When you log in, you will be asked to create your own personal login information for searching the JIL at that site. MLA members in ADE- and ADFL-member departments can also log in to search the JIL at the MLA Web site with their MLA-member user name and password. No additional user name or password is required. Individuals without an academic affiliation or whose departments are not currently members of the ADE or the ADFL can access the JIL by becoming affiliate members of the ADE or the ADFL. Like students and faculty members in ADE- and ADFL-member departments, ADE and ADFL affiliate members receive access to the online archive of the ADE or the ADFL Bulletins as well as rights to search the JIL database over the Internet. (Print versions of the JIL are no longer available to individuals.) Dues for affiliate memberships are $40 for MLA members and $65 for nonmembers and are refundable on request to those whose departments become members of the ADE or the ADFL within the membership period, which runs from September to August. Affiliate memberships must be purchased online with a credit card and are for the use of a single individual only.

The December issue contains notices describing approximately 550 definite and possible positions.

If a notice published in the October JIL does not reappear in this issue, readers should not assume that the position is no longer available. The only reliable guide to application is to check the deadline reported in the original notice or a current announcement in this List.
