4. Publications

Greetings from the art and publications office.


New Hire
I am pleased to report that Russ Dickerson will join the NAI staff in early September as IT/AV technician. In addition to the database and computer expertise the position requires, Russ brings an artistic sensibility that will certainly benefit our web site and publications.


Legacy
The September/October issue (Enhancing the Urban Environment through Interpretation) is at the printer. It will mail by the end of the month. Themes have been established through the May/June 2006 issue and are as follow:

• November/December 2005: Interpretation and the Experience Economy (Showcasing well-designed interpretive experiences)

• January/February 2006: Interpreting Slavery

• March/April 2006: Interpretive Road Trip (Scenic Byways)

• May/June 2006: Non-Traditional Interpretation in Non-Traditional Settings by Non-Traditional Providers (i.e., airports, city sidewalks, etc.)


The Interpreter
I have started production on the September/October issue. The July/August issue mailed early this month.


InterpNews
The fall issue is scheduled to mail in September.


Journal of Interpretation Research
I plan to produce the second 2005 issue in the fall.


NIW Materials
We're coming up on that time of year. I have started production on the Sourcebook and am expecting materials I'll need for the program guide in early September. I will produce the Federal Agency Award brochures and the multimedia presentations for the professional and media awards in October.


Ephemera
The 2004 annual report has been distributed and is being well-received.


Schedule
I will be on vacation in France for a week in August. More of my upcoming schedule is available at www.interpnet.com/board/schedule.htm.


Respectfully,
Paul
