<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Aloha all,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I wanted to let you all know that the
Omaha and Ponca Digital Dictionary now includes a link to the underlying
database at:</font>
<br>
<br><a href=http://omahaponca.unl.edu/><font size=3 face="sans-serif"><b>http://omahaponca.unl.edu</b></font></a>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The database is public access and searchable
in a read-only fashion.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">You will quickly see that most entries
have very little additional data entered so far. That is the tiger whose
tail we have been holding on to. Pending additional funding, database entry
will continue to move forward slowly using student power.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If folks think they might have some
interested students wanting to earn academic credit or research experience
performing data entry, do let me know. Since the original slips are digital
and accessible, it is now possible to have data entry done via the internet.
Both Catherine and I have had students doing data entry while in different
locations.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Please let me know if you have comments
or suggestions for improving search capabilities via the CONTACT link on
the database home page.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Best,</font>
