Announcing the "Introduction to TEI" Workshop!
Interested in learning about electronic publishing
in XML? An exciting opportunity for GSLIS students and University
Library staff is fast approaching. "Introduction to TEI", a two-day
hands-on workshop, will be offered on Sat., Feb. 26, and Sun., Feb. 27, in the
LIS Building. Julia Flanders (Chair of the TEI) and Syd Bauman (North American
Editor of the TEI) from Brown University will be teaching the course, during
which participants will learn how to create
their own XML documents. Participants without prior experience working with
markup are asked to introduce
themselves to TEI and XML by reading through a suggested reading list, which
will be provided after registration.
What is TEI? According to the TEI website ( http://www.tei-c.org/),
"the TEI is an international and interdisciplinary standard that helps
libraries, museums, publishers, and individual scholars represent all kinds
of literary and linguistic texts for online research and teaching, using an
encoding scheme that is maximally expressive and minimally obsolescent."
A seminal effort in
the humanities computing community, its role in libraries is growing. GSLIS
faculty members Allen Renear and John
Unsworth have long been involved with the TEI community.
Participants will meet in rm. 52 of the LIS Building from approximately 9 a.m.
to 5:30 p.m. on both Saturday and
Sunday.
The cost is only $20 per person, and you must sign up and pay in advance. (If
you cancel, only $10 of your fee is
refundable.)
The instructors, Julia Flanders and Syd Bauman, work at the Brown University
Scholarly Technology Group (http://www.stg.brown.edu/)
on its major text encoding effort, the Women Writers Project (http://www.wwp.brown.edu/).
They are both involved in the activities of the TEI and of the Association for
Computers and the Humanities (http://www.ach.org/).
Participation is currently limited to 28 people without their own laptops, plus
anyone who can bring their own laptop. (Those participants bringing laptops
will need to install some free software on their computer prior to attending
the workshop.) A registration waitlist will be kept if capacity is exceeded.
Email Sara Schmidt (saschmid at uiuc dot edu) to reserve your spot, and please
indicate whether you can bring a laptop and what operating system it has. More
information will follow to those who reserve spots. Please drop off your attendance
fee with Sally Eakin in the GSLIS main office or mail a $20 check or money order
