Subject: Subject Index to Literature on Electronic Sources of
Information

The August 1st, 1999 edition of the "Subject Index to Literature on
Electronic Sources of Information" is available at:

http://library.usask.ca/~dworacze/SUB_INT.HTM

The page-specific "Subject Index to Literature on Electronic Sources of
Information" and the accompanying "Electronic Sources of Information: A
Bibliography" (listing all indexed items) deal with all aspects of
electronic publishing and include print and non-print materials,
periodical articles, monographs and individual chapters in collected
works. Over 1,000 titles were identified and indexed in great detail for
this project. Thousands of URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) were added to
various entries. Both the Index and the Bibliography are continuously
updated.

Subject: RFC: Guidelines for Best Encoding Practices

Posted to DIGLIB, ETEXTCTR-L, Humanist, TEI-L

A draft of the "Guidelines for Best Encoding Practices" is available
for comment on the web at <http://www.indiana.edu/~letrs/tei>. These
guidelines are meant for projects using TEILite, and were drafted as
part of the "TEI and XML in Digital Libraries" workshop held in July
1998, sponsored by the Digital Library Federation. A full description
of the workshop and links to its reports can be found at
<http://www.hti.umich.edu/misc/ssp/workshops/teidlf/index.html>.

The "Guidelines for Best Encoding Practices" were drafted by a Task
Force of Working Group 2 of the Workshop (are you following this?).
The Task Force members include

* LeeEllen Friedland, Library of Congress
* Nancy Kushigian, University of California, Davis
* Christina Powell, University of Michigan
* David Seaman, University of Virginia
* Natalia Smith, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
* Perry Willett, Indiana University

The guidelines were approved by the larger working group, consisting
of about 30 librarians from the United States, Canada and Europe. We
presented the guidelines at the recent ACH/ALLC conference in
Charlottesville, and we would now like to hear from others who use
TEILite for their projects. Please send your comments and suggestions
to me by September 30, 1999.
