It's always fun to receive packages in the mail, but I don't usually expect them at work. Yesterday, my little mail slot was jammed full of a thick package from Haworth Press.
After dislodging it from my box, I turned it over several times, giving it a quizzical look, trying to figure out what Haworth would send me that weighed about five pounds (it was a large, padded envelope). Then it dawned on me...Haworth publishes Behavioral and Social Science Librarian, which is the journal publishing the article on Carol Gilligan that I wrote in grad school.
It's finally published, was my next thought, and I quickly found a pair of scissors and started de-stapling and ripping open the envelope.
And there it was. My name. In print. In a peer-reviewed, scholarly, reputable journal in my discipline.
Wow.
They sent me two copies of this Fall's edition of the journal, along with 10 reprints, which are like mini-journals with the cover and only my article in them.
I want to write something else to be published so I can feel this euphoria again.
