EEBO-TCP Interface Demonstration at ALA 2001
The EEBO-TCP searchable interface was successfully demonstrated
at ALA 2001 in San Francisco. You can access a summary of the
demonstration, including a brief tutorial on how to use the interface
to search the texts and a synopsis of the subsequent roundtable
discussions, here. Note: texts were added to the interface solely
for the purpose of the ALA demonstration that are not available
on the online prototypy interface. For a complete list of texts
used at ALA, you can download a copy of the agenda from the EEBO-TCP
demonstration program, which is available here.
Coordination between Oxford and University of Michigan
On May 14, David Price and Michael Popham arrived from Oxford
University to visit the EEBO-TCP production shop at the University
of Michigan. Their three day visit allowed project staff to establish
workflow procedures to be used when Oxford begins accepting texts
into their own shop this summer. Once Oxford comes on line, the
capacity for quality control procedures will double.
EEBO-TCP Demonstration Site
Our demonstration site is up and running, with the EEBO-TCP's
first eight texts, created from the page images currently available
in EEBO. We would like to stress that this site is just a prototype,
which will be redesigned after getting user feedback. We would
be pleased to hear your comments about the site, which should
be sent to Hillary Nunn at hnunn@umich.edu. March 16, 2001
Text Demonstration at ACRL
The EEBO-TCP is proud to announce the arrival of its first encoded

at the Hyatt Regency Denver (1750 Welton) on Friday, March 16
at 3:30 and on Saturday, March 17 at 9:30 am. Refreshments will
be served, and we will offer a demonstration of EEBO's new search
capabilities.
