I've had a number of requests for a summary of the responses I got to
my query about the availability of the TLG (Thesaurus Lingua Grecae) on
the Internet, or in locally electronic form. Here's the information that
I got. In brief, it is not available over the Internet, but is available
at a number of libraries in CD-ROM form. The interfaces vary. Thanks
again to all who answered. (there were two responses I just got that are
not included in this summary...)
========================================================================
The Classics (I think) Department of Rutgers University, New Brunswick campus
has TLG on CD-ROM. It isn't available over Internet you'd have to go there.

I'm pretty sure that Cal State Fresno (Michael Gorman's
library) has TLG--not accessible over the Internet, however.

Liz,
The University of Oregon has this product, but its on a CD-ROM
station, as it needs a graphics card to display the special alphabet.
If you'd like more information, you can contact Sara Brownmiller,
who's in charge of such things there at:
snb@oregon.uoregon.edu

I have a list titled "Projects in Electronic Text," which lists
the TLG (Thesaurus Linguae Grecae). Unfortunately, the entry is
very brief: It is maintained at the Univ of California, Irvine.
No more information is provided, but this at least is a start.
========================================================================
Vanderbilt University has the TLG compact disc in the Divinity
Library. It is not accessible via the Internet, but if your
professor friend is in Alabama, he might want to come up and
use it here. He might want to talk to Bill Hook, the director
of our Divinity Library for more information. We have other
CD-s he might be interested in as well.

The Classics Department at Penn State University (University Park Campus)
has a copy of Thesaurus Linguae Graecae on CD-ROM. This is a free-standing
installation and would have to be used locally. If your professor is
interested in contacting our Classics Dept., the address and phone number
are:
Classics Department
Pennsylvania State University
211 Sparks Building
University Park, PA 16802
(814) 865-8851
These folks could put your professor in touch with the producers of TLG,
who might know of installations closer to Alabama.
I rather doubt that TLG is available on the Internet, but I could be wrong.
I used to be on their mailing list but have not seen a brochure for quite
a while.
Hope this helps.

I know that Columbia has the Thesaur Linguae Graeci (sp?), but what access is
possible I don't know. You can e-mail Anita Lowry who manages their text
archive (LOWRY@CUNIXF.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU) and ask.
========================================================================
We have a copy of TLG. However it isn't going to do your friend
much good as it isn't up on the network. Our copy is located
in an Arts Faculty language lab because of the availability of
equipment. Once we can set up a network in the Library with
access to the campus backbone, the title will be repatriated.
I'm hoping that that will happen within the next few months
but that may be in my dreams. In any case if I can answer
any questions for him, let me know.

The University of Pittsburgh, Hillman Library has Thesaurus Linguae Grecae
on CD. Call Tom Wall in Database Searching for info at (412) 648-7726.
I believe it is limited to use by Pitt patrons.

I believe this is out of Santa Barbara (UC). I'll forward this to
the chair of our classics department who is a project participant.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Classics Dept. (NOT the
campus library) has the TLG on compact disc for local access. It is not
available via the Internet (such access would definitely violate our
licensing agreement). If you want more info, please contact the Classics
Dept directly.

Elizabeth,
I saw your post on Internet this morning about finding a source
for TLG. My information is a bit dated, but this is what I know
about it.
TLG is an ongoing project at the U of California at Irvine, run
by Prof. Theodore Brunner. As I understand it, he puts the e-text
on a mainframe, but I don't know whether it's available over
Internet or by dial-up. Brunner can be reached (according to my old
information) at:
Theodore Brunner
Thesaurus Linguae Graecae
University of California, Irvine
Irvine, CA 92717
(714) 856-6404
In addition to Brunner's work, I believe that Harvard (no, strike
that) Brown University has put much of Brunner's e-text on CD-ROM.
The contact for that would be Elli Mylonas, formerly of Brown, who
is now at Harvard. Her Internet address is:
elli@wjh12.harvard.edu
Elli has also worked on Pandora, which is a Mac search engine for
TLG. Elli has also been a driving force behind Perseus Project,
which has put much informatin about ancient Greece, including
photos, ancient and contemporary writings, etc., on CD-ROM.

The University of Toronto has the TLG CD-ROM, if that's
any help. It is only available on a local lan in the
Centre for Computing in the Humanities (CCH).
