**Announcing the Second Summer Institute at the University of New
Brunswick / Fredericton / New Brunswick / Canada**
Creating Electronic Texts and Images -- a practical "hands-on"
exploration of the research, preservation and pedagogical uses of
electronic texts and images in the humanities.
August 16 - 21, 1998
Instructor: David Seaman, University of Virginia
Sponsored by the University of New Brunswick Library's Electronic
Text Centre (http://www.unb.ca/etc/) and the Department of Archives
and Special Collections
COURSE DESCRIPTION: The course will centre around the creation of a
set of electronic texts and digital images. Topics to be covered
include:
SGML tagging and conversion
Using the Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines
The basics of archival imaging
The form and implications of XML Publishing
SGML on the World Wide Web
EAD - Encoded Archival Descriptions
The course is designed primarily for librarians and archivists who are
planning to develop electronic text and imaging projects; for scholars
who are creating electronic texts as part of their teaching and
research; and for publishers who are looking to move publications to
the Web. Course participants will create an electronic version of a
selection of Canadian literary letters from UNB's Archives and Special
Collections. Participants will encode the letters with TEI/SGML
tagging, tag an EAD finding aid (a one day course component) and
explore issues in creating digital images.
COURSE PREREQUISITES: This year's institute presupposes that
participants have some experience with the Web and HTML. It is highly
recommended that participants also have had some basic exposure to
other SGML applications besides HTML, such as TEI, XML or EAD. For
those with little or no previous experience with SGML applications,
there will be a one day introductory level session on Saturday, August
15. For those on the West Coast, an introductory session taught by
David Seaman will be offered on June 17, 1998 as a pre-conference
workshop at the Canadian Library Association Annual Conference & Trade
Show in Victoria, British Columbia.
FACILITIES: The course will be held in the Instructional Technology
LearningCentre (ITLC) in the Harriet Irving Library on the campus of
the University of New Brunswick. The lab is a state-of-the-art
facility with a Windows 95 PC for each participant and a high end
digital projection system.
The facility is air conditioned.
REGISTRATION FEES / HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS: Registration will be limited
to 20. The tuition $750.00 (Canadian dollars) will include all course
fees for the Institute, nutritional breaks, lunches and a number of
special events. Tuition does not include cost of accommodations. The
tuition for the UNB one-day (August 15) introductory workshop on HTML
and SGML is not included in the $750 and is an additional $75.00.
There will be five bursaries offered at $200.00 each for those who
could not otherwise afford to come to the Institute. The Lord
Beaverbrook Hotel in downtown Fredericton is offering special room
rates at:
$70.00 + tax (Canadian) Single Room
$77.00 + tax (Canadian) Double Room
Course participants will be responsible for making their own
reservations: Jill Amos - Contact Person - 506-455-3371
