SEND LISTS OF YOUR
PHENOMENOLOGICAL WRITINGS!
Colleagues are now encouraged to send lists of their phenomenological publications and to include means in them by which others can seek copies electronically. To do so, colleagues are encouraged to take the following steps:
1. From an electronic list of your publications, please delete all items that are not in or on phenomenology. (If we see items that do not seem to be phenomenological in any way, we will ask again for them to be deleted.)
2. Be sure that your name is on each item, and that the title of the book, essay, or review as well as the date, place of publication, and publisher are correctly stated.
3. If you believe that it would help relevant colleagues using browser search engines to find your publications, please include up to five indexing words to ones that need it. Having or adding an abstract at the beginning of the publication will also help.
4. If you are willing that others get electronic copies of your publications, something that would be especially helpful for colleagues and students in the less wealthy countries, please include the pertinent URL when this is possible or, alternatively, provide your email address. (Whether it is legal or appropriate for you to distribute copies of your publications to others in this way is for you and your publisher to decide and no responsibility for misdeeds is accepted here.)
5. We will do our best to include items in scripts other than the Roman alphabet, but ask that paraphrases of titles in English, French, German, or Spanish be also included.
6. At the time of writing (July 2004), there are 1,400 subscribers from at least fifty-three countries to the Newsletter of Phenomenology and 120 phenomenological organizations across the planet have been identified. Hence, a considerable number of additional items are expected for the bibliography. At the same time, there is only one part-time student assistant who will cut and paste bibliographical items from the lists received into the collective bibliography. Hence, one should allow several weeks before expecting one’s items to appear!
7. Please send the list of your phenomenological publications to the email address specifically established for this purpose:

What is the Collective Bibliography of the Phenomenological Tradition?
The goal of this resource is a complete list of all works by phenomenologists, deceased as well as living. This list will be arranged in chronological-alphabetical order by decades beginning with the 1880's. Entries will be added on new works as they appear. Recent work is of course listed in recent years.
The list can be reviewed chronologically to gain a narrative understanding of our tradition. The list may eventually exceed 10,000 items and may also be searched electronically by names of authors, texts, or subject terms.
In keeping with the goals of the website as a whole, this resource will be as planetary and as multidisciplinary as possible.
While CARP will take responsibility for the addition of information on deceased phenomenologists, information on work by living authors will preferably come from the authors themselves.
Overall, the ultimate value of this resource will depend on the cooperative spirit among living phenomenologists. For information to be accessible, it must first be added to the bibliography.
The list can of course be downloaded and printed, either in part or in its entirety, but one should remember that it will be constantly growing, with the most rapid growth occuring in the first year or two.
