Dear all,
I have recently come upon an excellent website which I would like to bring
to your attention because it seems not yet to have much publicity in our
scholarly networking community:

1548/49, and the recollect is a curious manuscript aping the layout of a
printed book; reminds me of certain things on tv which try hard to look
like internet!)

---------------------------------
26) Orationes duae, De ritu et modo depositionis beanorum, Strassburg:
Dolhopff, 1680, partial reprint (19 of 56 pp., all 18 engravings);
describes the ritual of the "depositio" which older students inflicted to
the the "beani" (sophomores, from French "bec jaune" > "be/jaune").
In my opinion a very praiseworthy initiative. The technical presentation is
unsophisticated, which I regard as an advantage (no frames, no java, no
bullshit). There seem to be plans to add more items, especially to the
sections "history of the Pfalz" and "Women history". Personally I would
love to have more Sebastian Brant online (with the exception of his
Narrenschiff his writings are still much understudied), but it's already
like Christmas to have his Aesopus in digital form.
For a similar project (with unnecessary presentation in frames, but
excellent images) see also the digital library of the University of
Bielefeld at the following address:

Subject: A small e-journal project: 'The Hydra' On-line
>> From: Stuart Lee <stuart.lee@computing-services.oxford.ac.uk>
Dear All,
JTAP 'Virtual Seminars for Teaching Literature'
http://info.ox.ac.uk/jtap/
Readers of this list may be interested to know that 'The Hydra', the
journal of the Craiglockhart Military Hospital, is now available on-line.
The material presented was the personal collection of the poet Wilfred
Owen and covers 1917-1918 (18 issues in total).
>From the technical perspective we have employed two approaches. The first
is to include colour facsimiles of all of the pages of each edition of the
journal (you can follow a link to a report on how these were digitized
at preservation quality, and then converted to JPG images for web
distribution). These are not searchable as we calculated that the cost of
transcribing each page (let alone employing some form of
mark-up) would have been prohibitive.
Therefore, for our second approach we have been working with Ramot Digital
Resources and their IOTA software. Here we have included a selection of
issues which can be searched using 'smart-image' technology. It allows for
searching, whilst at the same time presenting the user with a facsimile of
the page.
This is just a small part of the digital archive we are creating for the
JTAP 'Virtual Seminars' project, but hopefully will be of interest to
some.

Subject: Aussie arts/culture web site
Hello!
If the following info is appropriate for this list, please circulate...
I'd like to tell you about the Useum - it is a new Australian pilot web
site exploring ways to interact with arts and culture online. The project
was funded by our state government and is being managed by EMERGE
Cooperative Multimedia Centre. The projects main objective is research
into users responses to the site.
Activities on the site include collaborative scriptwriting, songwriting
and the opportunity to view "treasures" from our cultural institutions,
and display your very own treasures as well as an artist's creative
journey, and a Koorie (Aboriginal) art section.
The results of the project, including an analysis of how the project was
completed, and detailed statistics on users' demographics and levels of
participation, will be available to Australian arts and culture
institutions later this year.
I'd like to invite you and your staff to view the site, and would
appreciate your feedback, particularly if you are able to complete an
online survey in the "Outhouse" section.
