Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. ---------- Forwarded message --------- Dear Friends of the TEAMS Middle English Texts Series, On behalf of the TEAMS Middle English Texts Series, I am writing to request your help in supporting METS’s digital redesign efforts by completing the following user survey linked here<https://tinyurl.com/mets-redesign> as well as at the bottom of this email, along with a mobile-friendly QR code. Over its thirty-two years of publishing, METS has published and provided free online access to hundreds of digital editions of medieval texts, many of which would otherwise be rare, prohibitively expensive, or nonexistent as traditional print editions. These open-access editions have made it possible for instructors, students, and researchers alike to teach, learn, and advance scholarship on medieval British literature wherever they are in the world. An open-access digital collection, however, is only as accessible and useful as its website and user interface allow it to be – and over the past few years, it has become clear that both the METS website and its approach to digital editions need an update. Feedback from users like you will be pivotal in reimagining both with the needs of our diverse user base in mind. This user survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. At the end, you will have the option to indicate if you would be open to (1) sharing further thoughts on the digital redesign in a follow-up conversation and/or (2) helping with usability testing for the redesigned website in the future. Finally, please note that this survey will stop collecting responses on December 31, 2022, at 11:59 pm Eastern Time (UTC-5:00), so please make sure to complete the survey before this deadline. On behalf of METS, thank you for considering this request – I look forward to your response. Best wishes, Mead Bowen Ph.D. Candidate in English Staff Editor, TEAMS Middle English Texts Series Mellon Fellow in the Digital Humanities, 2021-2023 University of Rochester ebowen4(a)ur.rochester.edu<mailto:ebowen4@ur.rochester.edu> Survey Link: https://tinyurl.com/mets-redesign QR Code: [https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/CmPS5lt5CthfsE7_6dbr9uZgTJGExndQpE8Gi_AMm…] -- Franz Fischer Direttore, Venice Centre for Digital & Public Humanities (VeDPH) Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici Università Ca' Foscari Palazzo Malcanton Marcorà Dorsoduro 3484/D - 30123 Venezia Tel.: +39 041 234 6266 (ufficio), +39 041 234 9863 (segreteria del centro) https://www.unive.it/vedph https://www.i-d-e.de/ https://journal.digitalmedievalist.org/

Are you a Graduate Student or recent Postdoc in (Digital) Medieval Studies? Do you want to get actively involved in the Digital Medievalist community? Join the Digital Medievalist Postgraduate Committee of Coding Codices<https://podcast.digitalmedievalist.org/> fame!

The goal is to increase the visibility of these infrastructures while initiating conversations on interdisciplinary work, necessary skills, and acknowledging the need to reform university curricula in the medieval context and thus contribute to an overarching perspective towards current debates on the profiling of disciplines in the humanities between traditional and innovative/alternative requirements. More info about the committee and our organization can be found here: https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/bylaws-of-the-postgrad-committee/ Are you interested?
