About LEMDO Hornbooks

Para1LEMDO editions are published in PDF and print by the University of Victoria Libraries’ ePublishing Services. The series, called LEMDO Hornbooks, publishes a distilled version of the complete HTML edition, namely the modern text, general introduction, glosses, and short annotations. Each print title is generated from the same underlying XML encoding as the corresponding HTML edition(s) via Martin Holmes’ LaTeX processing.

Para2LEMDO Hornbooks are available as PDFs that can be loaded into a learning management system (LMS) like Blackboard, Moodle, Canvas, D2L, and Brightspace. If the LMS has a social annotation plug-in installed (e.g., Hypothesis), teachers and students can collaboratively annotate a LEMDO Hornbook PDF. LEMDO Hornbooks are also available as print-on-demand books.

Para3The HTML editions have been peer reviewed by the mechanisms deployed by the anthology in which they appear. All LEMDO Hornbooks undergo a second round of review by UVic, with all changes being incorporated back into the XML before it is converted into the final text of the HTML edition and the Hornbook. However you and your students access a LEMDO edition—via the complete HTML edition, the distilled PDF, or the distilled print edition—you can trust that everyone is reading the same text, general introduction and glosses.
