May 14 is the last day to register for the Digital Humanities 2007
conference with the early registrant discount, so please visit

http://www.digitalhumanities.org/conftool/

and register soon (if you have not already registered). The full
conference program is now online, at

http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dh2007/dh2007.fullprogram.pdf

It's an excellent line-up, and we hope to see you there.

Please note that if you have previously created a login on this site
(for example, to submit a paper or serve as a reviewer) you can use
that login for the purpose of registering for the conference as well,
and if you have forgotten your password, you can request a reminder.

Also please note that you may register as a member if you are a
subscriber to Literary and Linguistic Computing, published by Oxford
University Press. If you are a subscriber, you'll be asked for your
subscriber number: that number will be on the mailing label for your
most recent issue of LLC, and you can also get it by registering
online with OUP's journals division. If you are a member but for
some reason you don't have the number and can't get it, that's OK:
just email dh2007_at_digitalhumanities.org for help and we'll make sure
that you can register before the deadline, at the member rate.

Then, come that evening to hear a dynamic opening keynote address by
