Subject: Follow-up on the Tate article
The number of requests for the entire Tate article has been
surprisingly large. While gratified at the response, I simply cannot
fax or post dozens of copies of an article, especially without first
contacting the author and the owners of the bulletin (of the Finnish
Association of Translators and Interpreters) wherein it was
published. If I get permission, I will put it up on my own homepage,
Joan Tate does not have a web presence. I'm trying to pressure FATI
(SKTL) to put the article on their site, so that you all can read it
there. This should be cleared up within the week. I only expected
five or six requests, but I seem to have touched a nerve.
Cheers, Kela

Subject: Call for EDSITEment Nominations
March 11, 1999
Dear Fellow Humanities Web Site User:
I hope you are among the thousands of teachers, students, and lifelong
learners who have found that EDSITEment is an excellent gateway to the
best humanities-related educational content on the Internet. Launched
in 1997, EDSITEment was created and sponsored by the National
Endowment for the Humanities, MCI WorldCom, the Council of the Great
City Schools, and the National Trust for the Humanities. As you may
know, we depend on your nominations to begin the process of
identifying those sites that have rich content to support substantive
study in the humanities. Out of the more than 500 sites that you have
nominated in the past two years, scholars and educators serving on
merit review panels have selected 49 sites to be included in
EDSITEment. Once the sites have been chosen, EDSITEment adds the use
of a powerful search engine, as well as cross-disciplinary lesson
plans for classroom use. By many measures-hits, user sessions, and
most important, teachers' enthusiastic comments in the "Talk to Us"
Forum-EDSITEment has been a great success.
We now once again ask your help in identifying additional web sites
that will expand EDSITEment's reach with new humanities materials that
are suitable for classroom learning. We are not interested at this
juncture in comprehensive bibliographical web sites that offer
numerous linkages to a variety of other related sites. Rather we are
seeking sites that are content-rich and designed to engage students in
a significant body of knowledge. With your help, we plan to add
twenty-five sites this year.
As you survey sites that you find most useful, we ask that you consider the
following questions:
Intellectual Quality: Does the site provide rich and multilayered
humanities content? Does it provide students access to authentic,
significant materials with precise references? Is the information
accurate, balanced, and updated frequently? Is this site unique, or
is the material more easily available elsewhere?
Web Site Design: Is the site user-friendly and attractive graphically?
Is it easy to access information at different parts of the site? Does
the site provide for more than a one-dimensional exposition, allowing
students to experience a continuum of working with the materials that
lead to greater sophistication and creativity? Does the site allow for
an active, constructive relationship to the material? If teacher
guides or exercises are available, do they tap the resources of the
site deeply? (Note: such resources are not a requirement.) Does the
site require additional hardware or software? Are links to other
related sites easily accessible? Does the site have special features
to attract and engage users?
Web Site Impact: Can this site serve multiple audiences or is it
highly specialized? Are you aware of any particular uses it would have
in the curriculum of a school or college? Does the content relate to
education standards developed by your state? If you use this site in
your teaching, for which courses and what kinds of assignments or
student projects is it most useful? Does the site engage students and
encourage them to develop active interest and mastery of the subject
area? Is this the best or one of the best sites that you know of in
this subject area?
Our deadline for nominations is April 1. To nominate a site, or to
contact us, use the "Talk to Us" function on EDSITEment
(http://edsitement.neh.gov), or send an e-mail message to
edsitement at neh.gov. You need only to send the URL and any comments
that would be helpful. We are grateful for your help and will send
you the results of our survey within the next few months.
Sincerely,
William R. Ferris
Chairman
National Endowment for the Humanities

Subject: Call for participation in CL study programmes survey
The ACO*HUM network, sponsored by the European Union, is conducting a
survey of Computational Linguistics study programmes at European
universities. Up to now, 41 universities have answered (see
appendix). If you work at a European university department which
offers CL and your department has not yet answered the survey, please
ask the person responsible for the study programme to read the
following pointer:
http://www.hit.uib.no/AcoHum/cl/cl-quest.html.
Only one person per department should answer the survey.

The summer school offers intensive discussions of generative linguistics.
It will feature, among other domains, syntax, phonology, semantics and
philosophy of language; in each case debating the results of the latest

about 15 advanced seminars focussing on current research issues.
a core set of introductory overviews for each subdomain
The school is open to students and scholars from all over the world - East
