> MEI SUMMER WORKSHOP
> 
> The University of Virginia Library and the University of Paderborn are offering
> an opportunity to learn about the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI), an
> increasingly important tool for digital humanities music research. Spend three
> days learning the fundamentals of using MEI for research, teaching, electronic
> publishing, and management of digital music collections.
> 
> "Introduction to MEI," an intensive, three-day, hands-on workshop, will be
> offered Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012 through Friday, August 24th, 2012 at the
> University of Virginia Library.  Experts from the Music Encoding Initiative
> Council will teach the workshop, during which participants will learn about MEI
> history and design principles, tools for creating, editing, and rendering MEI,
> and techniques for customizing the MEI schema.	Each day will include lectures,
> plenty of hands-on practice, and opportunities to address participant-specific
> issues.  Attendees are encouraged to bring example material that they would
> like to encode.
> 
> No previous experience with MEI or XML is required, but an understanding of
> music notation and other markup schemes, such as HTML and TEI, will be helpful.
> There are also no fees associated with this workshop, but participants must
> bear travel, housing, and food costs.
>
