Pedagogic considerations in the use of computers in
humanities teaching
Relevance of research issues
Prospective participants are invited to submit proposals for
papers for parallel sessions (30 minutes in length including
time for questions) or for software demonstrations, based on
the above themes, or for workshops in relevant methodologies
(these should be three hours in length). Abstracts should be
approximately 500 words long and should have a title and the
full postal address of the proposer at the top. They should
include brief details of equipment requirements and should be
submitted by 15th June 1991 (decisions will be made by 1st
