May 2001


This TEI Workshop will be held in the ESC Room, Love Library South, in the basement. There will be coffee in the mornings, sodas in the afternoons, and some food at the breaks. Please dress comfortably and casually -- air conditioning in Love South is not at its best right now due to the construction.

The syllabus outlines the major subjects for each day. Each morning will start with a brief review and reminder of the salient features of the previous day.
