The link NCTE and CCCC are still working on their guidelines, which originally pointed to "ITC & CCCCCCC Project to Establish Guidelines for Promotion, Tenure, and Academic Recognition of Those Working with Computer Technology" at http://www.daedalus.com/promo/promo.html, showed the work that NCTE and CCCC had done to that point on creating guidelines for evaluating computer-related work for tenure and promotion. This link was included to show how little progress had been made by major organizations in the discipline towards arriving at formal evaluation guidelines.

The link here, which originally pointed to "Archive Name: rhetnet_promo," at http://www.daedalus.com/promo/rhetnet_promo/rhetnet_promoDate.html, showed a transcript of a discussion on Rhetnet-L (June 8-30, 1995). Several postings to the discussion, especially the posting by Eric Crump that I refer to in my text, clearly articulated the relationship between quality and evaluation in computer-related work in English studies. This link was included to draw the reader's attention to a particularly strong discussion of matters of technology, tenure, and promotion.

The link http://jefferson.village.virginia.edu/mla.guidelines.html, which originally pointed to "Evaluating Computer-Related Work in the Modern Languages: Draft Guidelines Prepared by the MLA Committee on Computers and Emerging Technologies in Teaching and Research," at http://jefferson.village.virginia.edu/mla.guidelines.html, showed the text of the MLA Guidelines. The link was included to give direct credit to the source and to keep this article linked to any future revision of the guidelines available at this site.
The link http://perseus.holycross.edu/ITC/MLA.html, which originally pointed to "Modern Language Association of America Statement on Computer Support," at http://perseus.holycross.edu/ITC/MLA.html, showed the text of the MLA Statement. The link was included to give direct credit to the source and to keep this article linked to any future revision of the guidelines available at this site.

The link discussion on Rhetnet-L, June 8-30, 1995, which originally pointed to "Archive Name: rhetnet_promo," at http://www.daedalus.com/promo/rhetnet_promo/rhetnet_promoDate.html showed a transcript of a discussion on Rhetnet-L (June 8-30, 1995). Several postings to the discussion entertain the question of what kinds of supporting material tenure and prmotion committees will be willing to consider in evaluating online activities. This link was included to draw the reader's attention to a particularly strong discussion of how we might evaluate online work for tenure and promotion purposes.
