[Asis-l] CORRECTION- Summer Institute - Creating Electronic Texts - David Seaman

[Alan Burk]

This past week a spurious e-mail announcing a Summer Institute at the
University of New Brunswick, Creating Electronic Texts with David Seaman,
was sent out to a number of lists.  In order to clear up any confusion that
may have arisen from this incident I would like to announce that the
Electronic Text Centre at the University of New Brunswick will be offering
this summer as part of its Summer Seminar Series   two one week courses,
running concurrently, the week of August 16 (2004).  The first is Essentials
of Electronic Publishing, covering Principles of transcription and editing;
the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI); Basic data structuring; Using XML;
HTML/SGML to XML conversion; Cascading Stylesheets; and XSL transformations.
This hands-on course will be taught by David Gants, a Canada Research Chair
in Humanities computing at the University of New Brunswick.  The second
course will be an introduction to EAD publishing technology and methods,
another hands-on course.  Daniel Pitti will be the instructor.  Daniel was
the Coordinator of the Encoded Archival Description initiative and is
currently Interim Co-Director of IATH (Institute for Advanced Technology in
the Humanities) at the University of New Brunswick.

More information on these new course offerings will be sent out within the
next two weeks.
