In my opinion an Open Acess web page with the digitized Exter book in reasonable quality would be better than any CD. Klaus Graf -- PS: What is Open Access: http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/overview.htm

Open Access to Heritage Collections
by Klaus Graf 19 Jul '04

19 Jul '04

"Nor need OA even be limited to literature. It can apply to any digital content, from raw data to learning objects, music, images, and software. It can apply to works that are born digital or to older works, like public-domain literature and cultural-heritage objects, digitized later in life." (From Peter Suber's Open Access Overview) http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/overview.htm Making the content of heritage collections free available in the world wide web is the best way to support scholarly research. Libraries and archives should allow Open Access editions of works in their property. Seeing this property as a cultural property there is no place for permission barriers concerning reproductions. On the taxpayer argument for OA see: http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/newsletter/09-04-03.htm May be you are able without knowing German to understand the dramatic developments for university libraries resulting from the journal price crisis the Regensburg university library has shown with statistical graphs at http://www.bibliothek.uni-regensburg.de/allgem/krise/krise.htm Purchasing monographs in the humanities has been influenced by the increasing STM journal prices.

CFP: Making the Old New Again, (1 Sept 2004; Kalamazoo, 5 May 2005 - 8 May 2005)
by James Cummings 19 Jul '04

19 Jul '04

[Apologies for cross-posting] Call For Papers: Making the Old New Again: Digital Medievalism in an Ever-Changing World The Oxford Text Archive, University of Oxford, invites abstracts for 20 minute papers to be delivered in the above sponsored session at the 40th International Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University (May 5-8, 2005). Session Abstract: This session aims to bring together medievalists working with digital projects to discuss their experiences with the every-changing and evolving nature of these resources. As increasingly more electronic research tools are created and computing technology changes, making the old resources accessible in new contexts is often extremely challenging. What do you do when your campus upgrades to a new operating system and your 'Teach Yourself Old English' software no longer functions? How do you convert electronic manuscript editions from a couple decades ago into a format so they will work with new software? Other related issues which could be included in the session include: the repurposing of older material to enable comparability in new resources, the transformation of legacy data into standards-compliant formats, the introduction of out-dated material into new online publishing frameworks, and the special challenges faced by medieval resource creation. It is hoped that this session will attract those with both negative and positive experience of data migration and resource creation, and allow them to share their experience to help medievalists work towards common goals of preservation of the digital medieval resources we already have and best practice in future resource creation. Please send abstracts (max. 500 words) for proposed papers with an even shorter summary c.v. to: James.Cummings(a)oucs.ox.ac.uk before 1 September 2004. Make sure to include complete contact information and AV requirements, and note that accepted participants must commit themselves to attend. For more information concerning this conference please see: http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/ Please feel free to circulate this call for papers to anyone you think might be interested. -James --- Dr James Cummings, Oxford Text Archive, University of Oxford James dot Cummings at ota dot ahds dot ac dot uk

What would people like to see in a primer and/or series of primers?
by Daniel O'Donnell 19 Jul '04

19 Jul '04

I've had a couple of off line responses to my question about a primer. This might be a good opportunity for participants at all levels of expertise to mention the types of thing they wish they knew (had known) in starting or completing various projects. It is important in a community like this that members not feel intimidated about raising simple questions or problems as well as complex or advanced. Don't be afraid to say what you think for the list as a whole! Cheers. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel.

Re: dm-l Digest, Vol 2, Issue 9
by Philip A. Shaw 16 Jul '04

As regards Exeter UP's digital Exeter Book, I understand from Exeter UP that they are still publishing it, and hope to have it out soon (I vaguely think they were aiming for this autumn, but I may be misremembering that). I think OUP's effort is separate? Best wishes, Philip Shaw _________________ Dr Philip A.

I think Bernard Muir is in fact at Leeds. Dig him out Martin, and get the scoop about why we're all still waiting for the Exeter Book, please. There's something pretty for you, if you do (as me ol' grandmither used to say). --pat Patrick W. Conner, Director West Virginia University Press P.O. Box 6295, West Virginia Univ.

THe Bodleian has just rolled out a Junius 11 digital facsimile that is on display here. It's all done, it appears, in javascript and CSS (and runs only on MS IE, apparently). The code is pretty elegant, though, and the architecture is pretty fluid and intuitive, especially when compared to simlar efforts in the past . . .
