Subject: Music and Hypermedia
My thanks to the seven respondents to my query of last week
for information on work in hypermedia and music to pass on to a
colleague in Germany. Here is the promised summary.
Alan F. Lacy pointed out what should have been the obvious
thing for a reader of HUMANIST to have done, namely, to have
checked the file ACADEMIC LIST1 on the HUMANIST file server for
the category "music" on this list of electronic lists. There are
eight in all, plus the ethnomusicology forum ETHMUS-L
categorized under "anthropology."
A number of respondents pointed to the Voyager and Warner
Bros. interactive video disk or cd-rom projects (Voyager:
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with Stravinsky's Rites of Spring
promised for this spring; Warner: Mozart's Magic Flute and
Beethoven's String Quartet Op. 131 with more promised).
Paul D. Kahn of IRIS on my own campus offered me the chance
to view these products. Vicky Walsh of UCLA, noted that the
Voyager materials are being developed under the direction
of musicologist Robert Winter of her institution.
The most complete information came from Bob Kosovsky of
the New York Public Library--Music Division who also offered
his help in general.
Roberta Russell of Oberlin provided the following references:
"The definitive resource for Hypermedia applications in
musicology as well as computer applications in the field
generally is _Computing in Musicology: A Directory of Research_,
available from the Center for Computer Assisted Research in
the Humanities, 525 Middlefield Road, Suite 120, Menlo Park, CA
94025 (phone: 415-322-7050). The price of their 1990 directory
is $18.00 US.
"Other sources of information are:
_Computers in Music Research_, published by the Wisconsin
Center for Music Technology, School of Music, University of
Wisconsin, Madison WI 53706 I believe individual subcriptions
are around $12.00."
Philip Baczewski of Academic Computing Services at the
University of North Texas provided the following:
"In the IBM PC realm, your colleague might want to investigate
the PODIUM system developed by Fred Hofstetter of the University of
Delaware. It is intended for the development of instructional materials
which involve the interaction of computer text and videodisc materials.
Fred's background is Music Theory, and I know that he has created at
least one multi-media presentation involving chamber music
performance practice.
"His BITNET address is CRY02737@UDELVM. Or for more information
about PODIUM, one can write: ACIT Central, 305 Willard,
The University of Delaware, Newark, DE (USA) 19716"
My apologies to the respondents if I have left out anything important.

Subject: Graphology and job placement.
Not to seem doubtful, but....These claims that unidentified "companies"
are utilizing graphology in their placement processes seems too
incredible to accept without question. With all respect to those who
report this phenomenon exists, I would appreciate a bit more empirical
grounding. What companies? What evidence is available for public
review, either anecdotal or objective, to substantiate these claims?
Are the instances being reported perhaps a small proportion of job
search procedures? Thanks for whatever direction to specific instances
of graphology use in personnel selection you may provide.

As I'm sure a _ton_ of HUMANIST readers will reply -- the Perseus Project,
now in version 1.0b2, includes an on-line version of the "middle" edition
of Liddell-Scott, as well as an (apparently) quite servicable English-
Greek lexicon which includes an index of authors contained in Perseus
who use specific Greek equivalents of a given English word. Prof.
de Lacey might do well to steer his colleague in the direction of the
Perseus editors (whose address, unfortunately, I do not have here at
home.)
Hope this helps,

The Perseus Project, from Harvard University, has an Electronic
copy of the intermediate "middle" Liddell & Scott lexicon incorporated in
its materials. I am not aware of an electronic version of the large
Liddell, Scott, & Jones.
