Some ten years ago when I started NABOKV-L, one of my goals was to facilitate the exchange of information re research on Nabokov. While quite willing to serve as a forum for anything VN-related, I would like to urge academic and literary Nabokovians to advise NABOKV-L and each other about their articles, books, and, perhaps most important, their Nabokov research projects. It would be useful if everyone who is currently involved in a VN project (such as a dissertation or article) send in thier research topics and/or abstracts.

As one who is in touch with VN international research, I see that many people are blissfully unaware that other people in other countries (or even their own) have already dealt with the topic in question.
