Spring term 1998
FRIDAY 16 JANUARY (1.00-1.55pm)
Tony McEnery (Linguistics, Lancashire)
Who do the British think they are?
Room 2B13, 2nd Basement, Strand Building
ABSTRACT
Collocations have begun to achieve increasing attention in both corpus
linguistics and computational linguistics. Studies have shown that rather
loose groupings of words are clearly observable in texts which seem to
reflect both norms of usage and cultural attitudes. In short there seems to
be a variety of syntactic, semantic and pragmatic references that we can
observe in text without input from native speakers. In this talk I want to
review what work has been undertaken to date in corpus and computational
linguistics on collocation. With this done, I want to examine how credible
both human and machine ratings of collocates are by looking at a series of
examples drawn from the British National Corpus. Examples which reveal the
attitude of the British to themselves and to others.

Managing Digital Imaging Projects: An RLG Workshop
Following on the heels of October's successful workshop held at the
Smithsonian Institution, RLG is pleased to offer its second 2.5-day
workshop designed to assist librarians, archivists, curators, and
preservation administrators in managing digital imaging projects.
Through lectures, demonstrations, and group exercises, participants
will learn to:
* set realistic goals and objectives
* benchmark imaging and indexing requirements
* determine necessary technical infrastructure to support
imaging and access (hardware, software, network,
communication protocols)
* prepare budgets (including the use of the RLG Worksheet
for Estimating Digital Reformatting Projects)
* identify facilities, space, and staffing needs
* develop an RFI & RFP from models provided, select
vendor(s), prepare a contract for services, and develop
on-going relationships
* monitor project activities and schedule
* establish a quality control program
* collaborate with others to provide access to and
maintenance of digital collections.
The curriculum was developed for RLG through a contract with Cornell
University's Department of Preservation and Conservation. Taught by
Anne Kenney, Associate Director of the Department of Preservation
and Conservation, Cornell University and Oya Rieger, Digital
Projects Librarian, Cornell University, the workshop will be offered
four times in 1998. The first workshop was held on October 27-29,
1997 at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. The upcoming
workshop will be held on February 4-6, 1998 at the University of
Chicago. The remaining workshops are tentatively scheduled as
follows:
May 13-15, 1998 (University of Leeds, UK)
May 18-20, 1998 (University of Leeds, UK)
November, 1998 (CA)
How to Register:
Registration for the workshops is on a first-come, first-served

workshop participants may purchase a copy of Digital Imaging for
Libraries and Archives by Anne R. Kenney and Stephen Chapman
