Good: My first published article has appeared, in the journal American Jewish History. They sent me some free copies and a bunch of offprints, so that's interesting. You can see that it exists on their web page though you cannot read it online, sadly.

Bad: In the process of closing my file cabinet, I knocked over my neat Galileo thermometer, with the little balls that rise and fall with the temperature, onto the floor, where it broke. Now the room smells like oil. See, we can't have nice things.

Thanks!

May I request a reprint of your article? I could probably get one of my librarian friends to print one off for me, but I've never had occasion to request a reprint from an author. I teach people how to do it all the time, so this is kind of fun for me.

I'll check tomorrow to see if this journal is indexed in our database. If it is, I may try to find a way to work it into one of my teaching guides.

And look! LC classification for your paper! That's exciting

OK! Though I would guess that where you work is subscribed to MUSE? It would let you download it in PDF, presto.

I was surprised by the LC classification, as I though they only did that for books, hm?

Good deal. Congrats on the article. What is it about? I'm assuming that it has something to do with, well, American Jewish history.

Thanks! To quoth from the subtitle: "Jewish-Protestant Dialogue, Interfaith Alliances, and Pluralism, 1880-1910."

So, basically my dissertation research about these religious magazines at the turn of the century. Rabbis and ministers exhanged their opinions about the practice of running a house of worship, ritual changes in one another's denominations, and so forth in that time period. So I argue that this prepared the ground for more substantive arguments and discussions of issues that affected both groups -- an important part of putting American Jews "inside the tent," as it were, of mainstream American religion -- creating some popular acceptance for the idea of religious diversity or pluralism.

Or something like that.
