Welcome to the Language and Literature area Members of our workshop field represent the
as well as independent scholars, librarians, and academic administrators. Our research, teaching and professional interests are widespread, ranging from linguistic issues, composition and rhetoric to theory, criticism, comparative literature, and both interdisciplinary and cultural studies. The potential applications to and uses of technology in these areas are equally vast. The questionnaires distributed in an initial phase of the Building Blocks Project address issues and problems of: access to materials, preservation, modes of organization and evaluation for online materials, current means of dissemination, institutionalized obstacles, and time constraints. In light of these concerns expressed by our constituency, the Language and Literature Field Committee has decided to focus our workshop on the subject of electronic publication, broadly defined, and issues of dissemination. In elaborating this topic, we will consider current practices, envision an ideal future, and articulate potential projects. Elaine Martin In these pages you will find:
