Southern Indiana Review student interns help improve Web site
|
With student help, the Southern Indiana Review Web site now includes an archived table of contents of each issue of the journal since its first publication in 1994. “In a continuing effort to keep the Southern Indiana Review Web site current for a wide audience, I've worked with Ron Mitchell to post the information for the new fall 2006 issue,” said Jenny Medcraft, computer systems analyst in the College of Liberal Arts. “With the help of the student interns, the Web site now has an archives section in order to continue to showcase past contributors. More information will be added to the section as it becomes available.” Users can purchase current subscriptions or past issues on the site. Single copies can be purchased at the USI Bookstore, Barnes & Noble Booksellers, and Borders Books & Music. The fall 2006 edition will be available October 23. The SIR internship was offered for the first time this semester as ENG 498: Internship in English. Interns for fall 2006 are Chris Dickens, Amy Leighty, Brittney Scott, Candice Thomas, and Jon Webb. The internship program was coordinated through Pamela Doerter, coordinator of internships and co-op education in Career Services. Mitchell, SIR managing editor and instructor in English, said, “As I’m putting together the spring issue of the magazine, the students will create a ‘mirror’ Southern Indiana Review, making their own choices and learning how to do the layout and design using publishing software.” Other responsibilities include processing submissions, marketing the magazine, and helping promote the Mary C. Mohr Short Fiction Award. The students earn three credit hours and are expected to contribute 10 hours a week. They meet for a three-hour class weekly and are given projects that consume the remaining hours. The class meets in the new offices for the Southern Indiana Review and RopeWalk Press located in the South Annex. The fall 2006 issue showcases the artwork of Lenny Dowhie, professor of art, and local artist Genie Woolman; poetry by Jim Daniels, Tim Kahl, Christy Effinger, Iver Arnegard, Priscilla Atkins, Elizabeth Schultz, Patrick Hicks, Peter Desy, Alison Baumann, Greg Moglia, Jon Tribble, David James, and Matthew Guenette; fiction by Liam Callanan, H. William Taeusch, Stephanie Dickinson, and Linda Lappin; nonfiction by Stephen Dufrechou, Diane Shipley DeCillis, and Calvin Mills; and reviews by Gail Eisenhart and Pamela Garvey. |
