Subject: CTI Subscription Charges
[Please Distribute Accordingly]
Dear Colleagues,
As many of you are aware the Computers in Teaching Initiative (CTI) Centre for
Textual Studies has for some years now been operating a policy of freely
distributing all our publications. This has included six issues of our
newsletter, 'Computers & Texts', and two versions of our Resources Guide (a
guide to some of the software available in the area of humanities computing).
However, due to financial constraints, we have had to revise this policy.
Subscribers outside of the United Kingdom will have to pay a subscription
charge that covers printing, postage, and packing costs (academics within the
UK will still receive a copy of all our publications free of charge). This
reflects our funding by the Higher Education Councils of England, Scotland, &
Wales, plus the Department of Education for Northern Ireland.
The subscription charge for institutions/individuals outside of the UK will be
#70.00 (pounds sterling) per annum. For this you will receive a copy of our
'Resources Guide', and two issues of our newsletter 'Computers & Texts'.
Subscribers will also be able to consult the CTI Staff for more specific
information on related matters.
For further information I enclose some details about the CTI Centre, plus
information on the new Resources Guide, and a subscription form.
The staff at the CTI Centre regret this change in policy but feel that with
rising costs it has become inevitable. We feel we should also point out that
the Centre has always been funded to support UK academics only and that our
previous policy of distributing material internationally free of charge was
unique in the CTI.

Computers in Teaching Initiative (CTI) Centre for Textual Studies
The Computers in Teaching Initiative (CTI) is a Government funded project aimed
at increasing or enhancing the use of computers in University education
throughout the United Kingdom. It has evolved into 20 subject specific centres,
each with the same aims and objectives.
The CTI Centre for Textual Studies is based at Oxford University Computing
Services, but as with all CTI Centres, is funded to cover the whole of the UK.
The subjects covered by the Centre are Literature, Linguistics, Classics,
Theology, Philosophy & Logic, and Theatre Arts & Drama. The Centre produces a
regular newsletter called _Computers & Texts_ and an annual _Resources Guide_
which aims to introduce beginners to some of the software and electronic
resources available to them for their teaching.
