As editor of CCL/LCJ: Canadian Children's Literature/ Litt?rature canadienne pour la jeunesse, I'm pleased to report that it's now possible to subscribe to the journal online, using a credit card. just follow the link at:

http://ccl.uwinnipeg.ca/subscribe.shtml

Meanwhile, the first issue of CCL/LCJ to be produced by the new editorial team at the University of Winnipeg is now available. You can see the cover and the complete table of contents at:

http://ccl.uwinnipeg.ca/issues/311.shtml

This issue features a new and distinctive design, and contains, among other things:

--a stimulating discussion by the American pedagogical theorist Henry Giroux, recently appointed to the Global Television Network Chair in Communications at Canada's McMaster University, about how recent North American trends in culture and education are having an impact on children and young people
 Greenlaw's description of the opportunities Deborah Ellis's Breadwinner trilogy offers educators for introducing North American students to some significant issues in the lives of children globally
 Mackey's overview of the economic aspects of publishing and purchasing and the range of other cultural factors that operate as the context in which children's reading occurs, in Canada and across North America
  --Nora Stovel's reading of the texts for children written by the renowned Canadian novelist Margaret Laurence
 Huse's report on her responses to both the Dear Canada and Dear America series in the light of her own American experience
 first of a series of review articles intended to place recently published Canadian texts for children in the context of larger issues in the literature and culture of childhood, Ben Lefebvre's consideration of by some recent novels about boys

There are also two articles and an interview in French and on French Canadian writing, and a link to the complete text of my own editorial, an overview of the development of Canadian children's literature and a look at some recent trends, in both HTML and PDF formats.

We're hoping that the work CCL/LCJ publishes will be of value not just for those with a special interest in Canadian texts for children, but for anyone with an interest in children's culture and childhood generally. Please do consider subscribing yourself or asking your institutional library to do so.

Yours, Perry Nodelman
