Anyone may submit reviews via BAAM's online submission system. In addition, BAAM has solicited formal reviews of recent works from members of the BAAM community. Expect these to appear periodically along with the self-submitted reviews. This BAAM feature should be especially attractive to students who can get a little practice writing and have a brief but creditable web-based publication to add to the vita. http://www.baam.emich.edu/BAAMMainpages/BAAMbookshelf.htm [7] BAAM FAQ BAAM has started a new page of answer to " Frequently Asked Questions. " Like the Behaviorists' Bookshelf reviews, anyone may submit a FAQ (both the question and the answer) via the BAAM " Suggestions Page. " If this feature proves popular, we will add a submission page specific to FAQs. http://www.baam.emich.edu/BAAMMainpages/suggestionsubmit.htm [8] Behavior Movies With expanded server capacity, BAAM is experimenting with movie delivery. Right now we have just one movie: " Kramer the Rat " shows us what schedule-induced drinking looks like. If this system works well, we will expand with other video offerings. You will need Apple's Quicktime to view the movies. Quicktime is already installed on most Macintoshes, but might have to downloaded from Apple if you have a Windows machine. http://www.baam.emich.edu/baammiscpages/baamsipmovie.htm ------------------------------------------------------- DATES AND DEADLINES [9] BAAM Convention Call for Papers Deadline, November 18, 2005 The BAAM convention will be held March 23-24, 2006 at Eastern Michigan University, Ypsilanti, Michigan.
