The Brown Computing in the Humanities Users' Group presents
William F. Birdsal
The Digital Divide: A Policy Paradox in the Liberal State.
5:00 pm Wednesday, April 25, 2001
STG Conference Room, Grad Center, Ground Floor, Tower E
The digital divide has become a high profile public policy issue in
Canada and the United States. Birdsall examines the nature of the
digital divide, North American liberal political culture, and government
information highway policy on universal access. He argues that the
digital divide is inherent to the unique liberal social welfare
structures of both countries. The liberal commitment to universality is
undermined by a liberal stratified social structure in both countries, a
paradox of public policy. However, there is evidence that Canada
remains thus far distinct from the U.S. in its commitment to universality.
Birdsall is the Executive Director of Novanet, a consortium of
post-secondary Nova Scotia libraries, and the Council of Atlantic
University Librarians/Conseil des Directeurs(trices) de Bibliothque des
Universits de L'Atlantique. Previously he was University Librarian at
Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, and has held senior
administrative library position at U.S. and Canadian university
libraries. He has published articles on the politics of librarianship,
professionalism, information technology, telecommunications, and public
policy. His book, The Myth of the Electronic Library (1994) was
published in Japan in 1996. He recently co-edited with Karen Adams,
Understanding Telecommunications and Public Policy: A Guide for
Libraries (1998). Articles have appeared in the Canadian Library
Journal, the Library Journal, Library Trends, INET Society Proceedings,
First Monday, the Queen's Quarterly, and many other publications.

The course will centre around the creation of a set of electronic texts and

The basics of archival imaging
The form and implications of XML
Publishing SGML/XML on the World Wide Web
EAD - Encoded Archival Descriptions
The course is designed primarily for librarians and archivists who are
planning to develop electronic text and imaging projects, for scholars who
are creating electronic texts as part of their teaching and research, and
for publishers who are looking to move publications to the Web.
Course participants will learn how to create TEI encoded XML files from a

to tag an EAD finding aid and explore issues in creating digital images.
