The Electronic Literature Organization (ELO) has moved to a nodal structure through new partnerships with the University of Iowa and the University of Illinois—Chicago. UI and UIC are the first of many anticipated "nodes" in an expanding network of institutions and universities committed to promoting and facilitating the writing, publishing and reading of electronic literature.
Home to the storied Writers' Workshop, the University of Iowa is already considered to be the best writing university in the country. The University of Chicago--Illinois hosts an important online journal on electronic literature and theory, ebr: The Electronic Book Review. Partnerships with the ELO expand the dimensions of all three organizations.
Thom Swiss, a professor in the University of Iowa English Department with a shared appointment in the Project on the Rhetoric of Inquiry (POROI), was recently elected president of the ELO. Swiss said the arrangement between the University of Iowa and the ELO will be a visible, international signal that Iowa, the nation's premier writing university, is also a leader in the digital age.
