EEBO Reviews and Press Appearances
Here is a sampling of what the press and those in academia are
saying about the Early English Books Online.
The April 2003 Charleston Advisor offers a review
of EEBO and an article
about the EEBO-TCP.
Biblio-Notes
offers a description of the EEBO-TCP "Summer Camp"
at Northwestern University where issues relating to the prototype
interface were discussed.
The Chronicle of Higher
Education's Information Technology section offers an overview
of the EEBO-TCP Project (August 2001).

Early
Modern Literary Studies concludes that EEBO is "an invaluable
research tool" (January 2001).
Cambridge English Renaissance Electronic Service (CERES)
devotes two reviews to EEBO:
Harvest, the newsletter of the Cambridge English Renaissance
Electronic Service (CERES), published two separate favorable reviews
of EEBO in the year 2000.
In Harvest
IV.iii (February 2000), Gavin Alexander gives the corpus its
first CERES review; though he was dealing with the corpus before
all its images were loaded onto hard disk, he still proclaims
EEBO "the one resource that we at CERES have been waiting
for."
Later, in Harvest
IV.iv (August 2000), Alexander updates readers on changes
in EEBO, paying particular attention to its download capabilities.
(CERES, an online service based at Cambridge
University, encourages the use of digital technology in early modern
studies. In addition to publishing Harvest, CERES also houses virtual
workshops, including the Aeneas and Isabella Project and Sidneiana.
