        Electronic Texts in the Humanities: Methods and Tools
 
                   The Fourth Annual Summer Seminar
                         June 11 - 23, 1995
                       at Princeton University
 
                            organized by
              Center for Electronic Texts in the Humanities (CETH),
                   Princeton and Rutgers Universities
                           co-sponsored by
                     Centre for Computing in the Humanities,
                         University of Toronto
 
 
An intensive two-week seminar is again being offered by the Center for
Electronic Texts in the Humanities (CETH) in June 1995. The seminar
will address a wide range of challenges and opportunities that electronic
texts and software offer to teachers, scholars, and librarians in the
humanities. The focus will be practical and methodological, with the
immediate aim of assisting participants in their teaching, research and
advising.
 
In response to demand, we are expanding the seminar in 1995 to allow
for sixty participants. There will be plenary sessions and six parallel
tracks devoted to specific areas of humanities computing. Participants
attend all plenary sessions and select one parallel track for more
detailed study. They will work on their own projects and will have the
opportunity to present them at the end of the seminar.
 
The six parallel tracks will be as follows:
 
  1. Text analysis (Susan Hockey and Willard McCarty)
  2. Text Encoding Initiative and SGML (Michael Sperberg-McQueen)
  3. Scholarly Editing (Peter Robinson)
  4. Hypertext for the Humanities (Geoffrey Rockwell)
  5. Tools for Historical Analysis (Dan Greenstein)
  6. Setting Up an Electronic Text Center (Anita Lowry)
 
Throughout the seminar, the instructors will provide assistance with
designing projects, locating sources for texts and software, and solving
practical problems. Ample computing facilities will be available. A
small library of essential articles and books in humanities computing
will be on hand to supplement printed seminar materials which include
an extensive bibliography.
 
The seminar is intended for faculty, students, librarians, technical
advisers, and academic administrators with direct responsibilities for
humanities computing support. It assumes basic computing experience
but not necessarily with its application to academic research and
teaching in the humanities.

Toronto and is offering a partial fellowship for each. The reduced rate
will be $300 tuition for students, $350 for others (less than 1/3 of the
normal charge). In addition each of the two from Toronto will need to pay
for travel to and from Princeton, bed and  breakfast at approximately $25/day
in college residence, and dinners.
