Text, Image and Film in Research and Teaching"
The Digital Library Research Group of the University of Maryland,
College Park,and the College of Library and Information Services
present a program of talks on multimedia information systems on March
3, 2000.
With the ability to digitally process significant amounts of
multimedia, multimedia digital libraries will be increasingly common.
Although digital scholarship in music, history, and literature have
been widely separated in the past, we believe there are many common
themes. We hope this interdisciplinary forum will highlight the
possible synergies.

9:30 AM Issues in Musical Informatics
Eleanor Selfridge-Field, Stanford University
McKeldin Library, Room 4137
Musical codes can be used to support several application domains.
Among them sound, notation, and analysis are the most common and the
ones on which we concentrate. While the information sets needed in
all three domains have some common features, each has unique
attributes as well.

11:00 AM National Gallery of the Spoken Word
Mark L. Kornbluth, Michigan State University
Hornbake 0115
The National Gallery of the Spoken Word (NGSW) will create a
significant, fully searchable, online database of spoken word
collections that span the 20th century -- the first large-scale
repository of its kind. NGSW will provide storage for these digital
holdings and public exhibit "space" for the most evocative
collections. From Thomas Edison's first cylinder recordings, to the
voices of Babe Ruth and Florence Nightingale, and Studs Terkel's
timeless interviews, the collections of the NGSW will cover a variety
of interests and topics. The NGSW is designed as an expansive
repository of aural resources. Over time, it will grow to include
many more collections from partnering institutions around the country.

2:00 PM The Shakespeare Electronic Archive:
Text, Image and Film in Research and Teaching
Peter Donaldson, MIT
McKeldin Library, Room 4137
The Shakespeare Electronic Archive is now working at the Folger and
Shakespeare Institute. I will demonstrate its use and discuss plans
for broader-than- Shakespeare film-text archive. Mr. Donaldson will
also discuss the Archive's plan to create distance collaboration
tools to make the archives useful at all levels.
