searchable database now available

[Mark J Awakuni-Swetland]

Aloha all,

I wanted to let you all know that the Omaha and Ponca Digital Dictionary 
now includes a link to the underlying database at:

http://omahaponca.unl.edu

The database is public access and searchable in a read-only fashion.

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.

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.

Please let me know if you have comments or suggestions for improving 
search capabilities via the CONTACT link on the database home page.

Best,
Mark
