Letters to the editors and a call for papers.
Dear Editors: Is this journal available to students by subscription? From the instructions, it appears that it is, but I didn't want to send them there if they would be thwarted. Thanks for letting me know. This looks like a rich resource for us all. Harriet Scott

Dr. Marson,
I am an Assistant Professor of Social Work at Minnesota State University Moorhead who has recently gain ABD status. I have a strong interest in social work ethics and would like to pursue a dissertation topic in this area. I have often read and enjoyed the work that has been presented in the Journal of Social Work Values and Ethics. As I research a starting point for a dissertation topic, I would value your opinion on the current state of research in this area. I would like your permission to call you. However, if you would prefer to communicate via email, that would be fine.
Thanks for your time. Jeremy Carney

Dear Colleagues:
We are working with Brian Schrag, Executive Director of the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics (APPE), to create opportunities at the upcoming APPE conference for social workers interested in ethics to attend, present papers, and develop panels that are related to ethics in our profession.
For the past two years, some of us have attended the APPE National Conference. As part of this conference, we have been able to organize a "mini-conference" on social work ethics as well as participate in interdisciplinary workshops and forums. We have found this opportunity to be very educational and exciting.
This year's conference is in Cincinnati, OH from February 22-25 (Click on the following link for the attached conference announcement

We want to encourage individual submissions on the topic of ethics and we will be organizing a couple of panels that will have a specific focus based on responses we receive from all of you. We need your abstracts by October 30th to have enough time to get on the conference agenda (See submission guidelines below). We would be willing to communicate with you to facilitate your participation. Our respective phone numbers and email addresses are at the bottom of this message.
