This document contains much of the information that used to appear in the Program Guide insert (yellow pages) of the October Newsletter. Please examine the General Requirements section of this document closely before beginning the submission process. Note in particular that members wishing to make a submission

• must obtain a free account from SSRN,
• must be in good standing (i.e., have APA dues paid through 2010),
• and must have a working password for the members only section of the APA web site.

The paragraphs entitled "SSRN Registration" and "APA Membership" of the Program Guide explain how to register with SSRN and resolve membership or web site access problems and give contact information for SSRN and Johns Hopkins University Press staff who can assist with these tasks.

We are very pleased to offer this online submission facility this year and welcome suggestions for improvement next year.
