Subject: March 11 NEACH: "Editor" Checker


NEACH: THE NORTHEAST ASSOCIATION
FOR COMPUTERS & THE HUMANITIES
invites you to hear Elaine and John Thiesmeyer talk on
EDITOR and OTHER STYLE CHECKERS
on _Thursday_, March 11, 1993, at 1:30 pm in Room 25A
The IBM Building, 590 Madison Avenue at 57th Street, New York City .

The Thiesmeyers will discuss several text-checking programs, including
_Grammatik_, _Correct Grammar_, _RightWriter_, and _Editor_. Their talk
will focus on the strengths and weaknesses of such grammar-checking
packages and on the nontrivial problem of evaluating their usefulness, both
in classroom and in private applications. The Thiesmeyers are codevelopers
of _Editor_, published by the Modern Language Association and scheduled for
a new edition this summer.

Elaine Thiesmeyer is Associate Professor of Language and Literature
at the Rochester Institute of Technology, where she has also done
postgraduate work in computer science. John Thiesmeyer is Professor of
English at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, NY. The Thiesmeyers
have published articles on various topics involving computers and writing.

Please note this special NEACH date in your calendar:

_THURSDAY_, Mar. 11: John & Elaine Thiesmeyer, "Editor" & Style Checkers

All NEACH meetings are free and open to the public.

ANNOUNCING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF 'DISC-NORDIC' DISCUSSION LIST
--------------------------------------------------------------

A new discussion list has been established, which will serve
scholars who are interested in the Social Sciences and Humanities
focusing mainly on the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland,
Iceland, Norway, and Sweden).

Discussions, questions and comments in this list will deal
with current scholarship in any Social Science or Humanistic
field, curriculum, bibliographic detail, announcements of
meetings and conferences, job postings, summaries of current
journals and requests for contacts with scholars investigating
particular subjects. Non-scholarly topics will be discouraged.

This discussion list is also mirrored to the USENET newsgroup
umn.local-lists.disc-nordic.

To subscribe, please send a note to:

disc-nordic-request@mail.unet.umn.edu

stating your request to join and your e-mail address.

Messages for broadcast to all participants should be addressed
to:

disc-nordic@mail.unet.umn.edu

Comments and questions on the administration or policies of this
discussion list should be sent to

Jole Shackelford: shack001@staff.tc.umn.edu
or
Jerome Coffey: UENJC@TERRA.OSCS.MONTANA.EDU

NOTE FROM JANET RASMUSSEN, President of SASS:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As president of the Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian
Study, I am pleased to add my support for the new listserv for
Scandinavianists around the world. We all stand to benefit
enormously from this initiative, which will be an appropriate
forum for exchanging professional information
and which can supplement the existing channels of communication
that SASS provides. The SASS Executive Committee looks forward
to continued cooperation between our organization and the readers
of disc-nordic.

Special thanks to our colleagues at the University of Minnesota
for their willingness to launch and shepherd the project!
