[bit.listserv.edtech] Access to slides from videodisc

EHRMANN@UMDC.BITNET (02/09/90)

Re Don Booth's request, he and others might be interested in Project PERSEUS
at Harvard.  It's the cover story in the issue of ACADEMIC COMPUTING that's
just come out. They're developing an integrated library of primary and
secondary sources (texts, imges) and software tools for the study of classical
Greece.  Their software is about to go into beta test -- it consists of
a videodisc for still images and motion video, plus a CD-ROM for everything
else -- and will go on sale in December for around $50-60 for each disc.
Both run with a Mac (SE or above) and HyperCard (with a lot of XCMDs and
a good database backing it up).  For more information you could call them
at 617-495-9025.  I realize this is not exactly what you were looking for,
but it might be apprpriate nonetheless.
