Library has joined Early English Books Online - Text Creation Partnership (EEBO-TCP) Phase II

Phase I of the Early English Books Online - Text Creation Partnership (EEBO-TCP) 1475 - 1700, is now completed, having added 25,355 fully-searchable, TEI-compliant SGML/XML enhanced text editions. EEBO-TCP is a collaboration of the Universities of Michigan and Oxford, the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) and members of the Text Creation Partnership to create SGML/XML encoded text editions for selections of the Early English Books Online (EEBO) corpus. All EEBO-TCP text is searchable in EEBO. In March of 2008, the TCP announced its intention to initiate a second phase of EEBO-TCP production, with the aim of converting the remaining 44,000 unique monographs in the EEBO collection. The University of Saskatchewan has now joined EEBO-TCP phase II and will have access to these resources as they come available. [details]
