Intensive Introduction to TEI August 10-12, 2006 at Brown University

Co-sponsored by the Scholarly Technology Group and the Women Writers Project, in conjunction with Summer and Continuing Education at Brown University

The Scholarly Technology Group and the Women Writers Project are once again offering a three-day workshop on text encoding with the TEI Guidelines. This intensive hands-on introduction will cover the basics of TEI encoding, including a discussion of stylesheets and XML publication tools, project planning, and funding issues. The workshop is designed to help encoding novices get quickly up to speed on basic text encoding, with particular emphasis on the transcription of primary sources and archival materials. Humanities faculty and graduate students, archivists, librarians, and digital project managers will all find this workshop a useful background for a closer engagement with text encoding theory and practice.

The course will be taught by Julia Flanders and Syd Bauman. Attendees are encouraged to bring materials from their own projects for discussion and practice. Deadline for registration is July 14.

The course fee is $425 ($475 after June 25), with low-cost accommodation available on the Brown campus. To register, and for more information, please visit http://www.stg.brown.edu/edu/tei_intro2006.html
