/* Augustæum */
==''[[Augustæum]]''==
''Augustæum'' is the members newsletter. By definition, it carries items that are either not scholarly, or are not of enduring value (which should be sent to the ''The [[Augustan Omnibus]]'' instead). It is intended to be published more frequently than the ''Omnibus'', but may be mailed with it.
Presently, the frequency is bi-monthly, and the size is four or six pages, as material submitted demands. Longer issues are possible. It is often accompanied by flyersfliers, notices, and other publications, such as ''[[Rosarum]]''or the Book Sale Flier.
Regular features presently include:
* Help Wanted — an item advertising a particular post, not to be repeated for the following year plus one issue (Thus a January notice in one year would not be repeated until March of the following year.)
* Lists of donors to various campaigns, members of [[Sub-Groups]], or senior members
* "Library Top Ten", a list of ten items from the Library catalog that one member feels are of interest
* If four pages are not filled, an Editorial
'''Proposal: The Society should conduct a survey to test the level of interest in publishing the members newsletter electronically, and a decision made about the value of devoting the time needed to reformat (versus publishing as a PDF file).'''
 
One previously published feature was the "Library Top Ten"; a list of ten items from the Library catalog that one member feels are of interest. This was discontinued for lack of submissions, and HQ staff felt it unworthy of their limited time. This could become an assignment for the Library staff (once they and the HQ staff aren't identical).
