Lou Burnard and Michael Sperberg-McQueen are organizing a Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Workshop, 22-23 July 1991, at Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island. This is an opportunity to learn about the TEI's draft Guidelines for the Encoding and Interchange of Machine-Readable Texts and to try existing TEI/SGML software tools. The Workshop is being run back to back with a meeting of North American TEI Affiliated Projects, so text hackers and representatives of major research projects will be there. Topics will include: descriptive markup, SGML, and the use of TEI texts with standard software packages. The fee is $100, or $75 for members of ACH, ALLC or ACL. For details, contact wwp@brownvm.brown.edu. A similar European workshop will be held at Oxford University Computing Service, 1-2 July 1991; contact tei@vax.oxford.ac.uk by June 1. [NL-KR.]
