DM Nominations
by Dot Porter 20 Feb '07

20 Feb '07

The Digital Medievalist is now taking nominations for members of the executive board. Per the Digital Medievalist Bylaws, Board members will be expected to serve the DM membership by serving on an editorial committee responsible for the production of the DM journal, overseeing the operation of the DM wiki, moderating the dm-l listserv, and/or organizing conference and poster sessions on behalf of Digital Medievalist. Board members serve two-year terms, with four spaces available each year. Eligibility to run for the board is determined by "demonstrable contribution to the project within the previous year," although there is no precise definition of a "demonstrable contribution." This might include editing the DM wiki, publishing an article or review in the DM Journal, or participating in a DM-sponsored session. Anyone who is subscribed to the Digital Medievalist listserv is eligible to vote. If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else, please send a brief biographical statement (max 200 words) to Dot Porter at dot.porter(a)gmail.com. For more information on the Digital Medievalist and the DM Board, please refer to the Bylaws: http://sql.uleth.ca/dmorgwiki/index.php/Bylaws Nominations will be accepted through March 14, at which point the slate will be announced and biographies will be sent to the DM Listserv and posted to the DM website. Voting will be held by email from March 21 through March 25. March 25 is Lady Day, the Feast of the Annunciation, and was New Year's Day until 1752, when western dating moved from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar. It is thus a suitable day to welcome the new Digital Medievalist board members. -- *************************************** Dot Porter, University of Kentucky ##### Program Coordinator Collaboratory for Research in Computing for Humanities dporter(a)uky.edu 859-257-9549 ##### Editorial Assistant, REVEAL Project Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments porter(a)vis.uky.edu ***************************************

Middle English Compendium (inc MED) now freely accessible
by James Cummings 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

FYI ======= The University of Michigan announces that under new arrangements worked out between the University Press and the University Library, all components of the online "Middle English Compendium," including the online version of the Middle English Dictionary, are now freely accessible without fee, password, or any other impediment to access: <http://ets.umdl.umich.edu/m/mec> The MED has hitherto been available only on a subscription or password-protected basis, till the Press recouped its substantial contribution to the original conversion costs. This has now been accomplished, and we are grateful for their agreement that the time has come to liberate it. It was always our hope and intention to open the MED when we could, both in the general interest of public access (to which as a public university library we are dedicated), and with the expectation that open access will facilitate eventual interlinking amongst sibling dictionaries and between MED and other projects (e.g. online editions, which are now free to link lexical lookups to the appropriate MED entry). The official press release is here: http://www.ns.umich.edu/htdocs/releases/story.php?id=3125 -- Dr James Cummings, Oxford Text Archive, University of Oxford James dot Cummings at oucs dot ox dot ac dot uk

A proposal for a new society
by Dan O'Donnell 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

Hi all, The group that helped found the Digital Medievalist would like very much now to turn what started out as a "project" into something more closely resembling a "society": this would involve particularly establishing aboard with elected officers. Over the last while we've been working on a set of by-laws that would allow us to do this. I've posted them to the Wiki as a temporary holding place: http://sql.uleth.ca/dmorgwiki/index.php/Bylaws What do people think? We are thinking of planning the first elections for Lady Day (March 25): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Day -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Chair, Text Encoding Initiative <http://www.tei-c.org/> Director, Digital Medievalist Project <http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/> Associate Professor and Chair of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Vox: +1 403 329 2378 Fax: +1 403 382-7191 Homepage: http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/

Dictionary of Old English on Linux
by Peter Baker 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

I'm wondering if anyone on this list has done anything about getting the material on the Dictionary of Old English CD (I'm talking about the dictionary proper, not the corpus or other materials) running under Linux. I've made a basic index with links to the entries, so it's sort of usable. But although it probably wouldn't be horribly difficult to put this index in the order used in Old English dictionaries, and even get some of the search functionality now enjoyed by Internet Explorer users, I'm not terribly eager to do it myself. If there's a nice index and/or some Linux programming out there for the DOE, and someone's in a sharing mood, I'd be terribly grateful. Peter Baker

Permanent Teaching Positions at the University of Lethbridge (Second call)
by Herdsman Caedmon 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

Please forgive a second and final reminder about positions at the University of Lethbridge. Deadline for applications: February 15, 2007. We have two vacancies for permanent "Academic Assistants" (http://www.uleth.ca/hum/Services/career_fac/English_Academic_Assistant_Nove…). These are career teaching positions that are often called "Lecturers" at other universities. The initial appointment will be for a probationary period of two years. Upon successful completion of the probationary period, incumbents will be offered continuing contracts. The minimum qualification for these positions is an M.A. in English or a related discipline. A PhD is preferred. The successful candidates will teach mostly junior-level literary courses in our department (composition is taught in a different department at the University of Lethbridge and faculty in English do not teach composition courses). Successful candidates with a PhD will be eligible to teach senior-level courses in their area of expertise depending on demand and the scheduling requirements of the department. We are a small and cooperative department: Academic Assistants can expect to play a role in developing the shape of the curriculum over their careers. The area of specialisation for these positions is open. We are looking for enthusiastic and accomplished teachers and are willing to work at accommodating particular teaching specialisations into our course offerings alongside the main focus on junior-level literary courses. The course load is expected to be seven 13 week courses per year. Initially, we expect this to be distributed 3:3:1 (i.e. three courses per semester in term with one additional course in the summer). Successful candidates for these teaching positions will not have any formal research requirement though they will be expected to keep up with changes in the discipline and pedagogy. We are required by law to give preference to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. This is an international search however, and non-citizens and non-residents are eligible for consideration and employment. If you have any questions about the positions, please feel free to contact me at the addresses below. -Dan O'Donnell -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Chair, Text Encoding Initiative <http://www.tei-c.org/> Director, Digital Medievalist Project <http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/> Associate Professor and Chair of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Vox: +1 403 329 2378 Fax: +1 403 382-7191 Homepage: http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/
