Creating Electronic Texts and Images -- a practical "hands-on"
exploration of the research, preservation and pedagogical uses of
electronic texts and images in the humanities.
DATES: August 18 - 23, 2002
INSTRUCTOR: David Seaman, University of Virginia
PLACE: University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
Sponsored by the Electronic Text Centre at the University of New

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The course will centre around the creation of a set of electronic texts and
digital images. Topics to be covered include:
XML tagging and conversion
Using the Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines
Ebooks
The basics of archival imaging
The form and implications of XML
Publishing 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
selection of manuscripts from UNBs Archives and Special Collections; and,
then, how to turn these XML files automatically into multiple formats,
including HTML, PDF, and EBook. Participants will also have the opportunity
to tag an EAD finding aid and explore issues in creating digital images.
The work of the class will be made available on the Internet through the
Electronic Text Centre at the University of New Brunswick Libraries Web
Page.
