Subject: Random Poem Composer

In the spirit of fun associated with April Fool's Day, the Humanities Text
Initiative at the University of Michigan is pleased to announce the new
HTI American Verse Random Poem Composer.

Through the magic of SGML (TEILite, specifically), we have the ability to
select 16 random lines from the American Verse Project database and
combine them into a hitherto unseen poem chosen especially for you.

Just access the URL:

http://www.hti.umich.edu/bin/amv-idx.pl?type=random

and a random poem will be sent to your web browser. Each line will
helpfully consist of not only a line of verse, but a link back to the
larger work, just in case you *really* want to know more about the true
context of the line. Don't like that poem? Fine! Just press the Reload
button, HUNDREDS OF TIMES IF NECESSARY, to get the poetic statement you
crave. It's fun, and we don't even think it's illegal.

Journal of Digital Information

http://journals.ecs.soton.ac.uk/jodi

The Journal of Digital Information, JoDI, is an electronic journal (with
no paper equivalent form) intended to serve the community of workers in
this field. The journal aims to be the primary electronic source for high
quality articles and consequently refereeing is rigorous. There is also
scope for the online discussion of articles, a process as vital to the
community as the formal publication process itself.

The Journal of Digital Information supported by the British Computer
Society and Oxford University Press. It is hosted at the University of
Southampton Multimedia Group and will be mirrored at the Center for the
Study of Digital Libraries, Texas A & M University.

The journal invites submissions on a wide variety of topics, for example:

* digital libraries
* hypermedia systems
* intelligent agents
* information management
* interfaces to digital information
* social consequences of digital information
digital information design

....and related topics.
