Subject: WWW Supplement to _The Testament of Love_
*** Cross-posted to Several Lists -- Apologies for Duplication ***
As part of ongoing experimentation with the relationship between
electronic and print technologies, I have posted a WWW supplement
to my edition of the (14th-c.) _The Testament of Love_ by Thomas Usk
(Kalamazoo: Medieval Institute Publications, 1998). My goal is
to try to integrate e- and print-publication in such a way as to exploit
the Internet's speed and dispersion for updating and correcting material
appearing concurrently in less mobile and less flexible print format.
This page can be accessed at
http://www.clas.ufl.edu/~rashoaf/folia.html
and it contains the following items:
Links to the METS and the Medieval Institute Publications Websites
A link to an e-copy of a facsimile of Thynne's 1532 imprint of _TL_
A link to an e-copy of Skeat's text of _TL_ (with prefatory warning)
A brief excerpt from my Introduction to the edition
A link to my modernization of the "Prologue" of _TL_
A link to an _Addenda_ page
A link to a _Corrigenda_ page
A link to a _Comments_ page
A mail-to link to post messages to me
Other links will be added in the course of the coming academic year,
and the above links will be regularly updated (and METS will post the
complete hypertext version of the edition to the WWW in 1999).
I would be interested in hearing any responses to this page -- items
for the bibliography, corrections, format suggestions, etc. -- users
may wish to communicate to me (I hope to maintain the page
and its links indefinitely). I would also be grateful if list subscribers
mention the page to colleagues not subscribers who might have some interest
in _TL_ and/or WWW re-presentation of textualities.
Thank you,

Subject: The latest issue of The Journal of Electronic Publishing
Dear JEP Subscriber:
The September 1998 issue of "The Journal of Electronic Publishing"
<http://www.press.umich.edu/jep> is now available for your reading
enjoyment.
JEP ECONOMICS 102: Current Thinking on the Economics of Electronic Publishing
Three years after JEP first explored the economics of
electronic publishing, a new review.
Guest Editor Michael Jensen has scoured the electronic
universe, seeking out the best recent articles on scholarly
electronic publishing.
In addition, we offer for your reading enjoyment a look at
another kind of electronic publishing, the online newspaper.
And be sure to catch the first-person story of how decisions
at one online business were made about users and their needs,
and an article on one contributor's summer reading.
Michael Jensen, writing from so many years of experience in
electronic publishing that it's hard to remember it's still a
new field, describes the matrix of influences affecting
publishing decisions in this environment.
<http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-01/jensen.html>
Colin Day, director of the University of Michigan Press (our
benefactor!) questions whether publishing monographs
electronically solves economic problems or merely shifts costs.
<http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-01/day.html>
Scott Bennett, Yale University Librarian, demonstrates a users
view of the business of just-in-time scholarly monographs.
<http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-01/bennett.html>
Marlie Wasserman, director of Rutgers University Press, tells
us the story of a book by Mona Graff to demonstrate the real
costs of monographic print publishing in contrasts with
digital publication.
<http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-01/wasserman.html>
On the journal side, Hal R. Varian, dean of the school of
information management and systems at UC Berkeley, speculates
that the economics that drive e-publishing will inevitably
drive changes in the form of the scholarly journal.
<http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-01/varian.html>
Andrew Odlyzko, head of the mathematics and cryptography-
research department at AT&T Labs, applies his algorithmic
thinking to online-journal publishing and economic models.
<http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-01/odlyzko.html>
Those who think advertising may save online publishing need
to read Dave Wilson's article, reprinted from the San Jose
Mercury News.
<http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-01/wilson.html>
Arnold Arcolio and Bruce Washburn reveal the philosophy --
and the work -- behind Eureka, the Research Libraries Group's
online search-and-retrieval system.
<http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-01/arcolio.html>
Two authors look at online newspapers:
Shayla Thiel explores the online-reader's relationship to
online newspapers in the context of modern history,
concluding that the online newspaper is the perfect
postmodern medium.
<http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-01/thiel.html>
And Mike Cuenca asks what happened to the multimedia in the
supposedly multimedium of online journalism.
<http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-01/cuenca.html>
For something completely different, Willis G. Regier analyses
scholarly press Websites, finding the winners -- and the losers.
<http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-01/regier.html>
Finally, Thom Lieb shows us the ways publishers can help
people find their way around their Web sites in "Visitor
Information."
<http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-01/lieb0401.html>.
Enjoy!

Subject: new site: community language collection
This message announces a new web site, Community Language Collection:
http://www.uncc.edu/english/clc The site presents audio and text clips,
graphics, and full transcripts from 40 oral interviews with senior citizens
in 1979, illustrating several varieties of American English, with the
majority from the Southeastern U.S., and the Charlotte, N.C. region.
Speakers self-reported themselves as male and female, black and white, with
a range of education and occupations. Narratives may be searched by theme or
by speaker birthdates, 1885-1923. To make the site available to the largest
number of viewers/visitors, including schoolchildren taking NC history, the
site does not use frames and includes a dual track for streaming compressed
audio. Although the original tapes were made under less than desirable
conditions, a range of regional features is accessible via the audio
segments selected for display. Clips from the tapes were selected to present
one or more features of pronunciation within a narrative segment of the
interview.
