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. Learn more about CERES.
