The UT Houston Multimedia Scriptorium is not just a room or tools, it is people, ideas, and commodities to bring those ideas to reality. Thus, the strength of the Scriptorium is in the people and their talents. It is for this reason that we thank the following people for their time and talent.
First, we thank Dr. William Weems for his vision; what has been created grew from his spark. We thank him for his participation; you'll find much of the text in the Multimedia Scriptorium Textbook includes his professional writing. We thank him for letting us add so much of ourselves to the final product and not limiting us by just the "vision of one".
Our sincere thanks to Dr. Thomas Burks for his support, both financially, for hardware and software, but more importantly for his concern and emotional support. With so many little birds under his wing, he still finds time to feed us all by asking questions, checking on progress, and celebrating our triumphs.
Blessed be the artist! Many thanks to Raquel Vega for talent abounding. It seems I just can't throw anything her way that she can't find a way to turn vision into visable. (The graphics for the textbook are her own creation!) My thanks to Cynthia Reyna, for the ever present laugh and smile. Not even the 3-D room threw her! I am so greatful for your patience and talent.
Cynthia, Raquel and I thank all of those on the OAC staff who have with the MmScriptorium from 1998: Barry Ribbeck, Fagon Istre and Roger Gibson (always there to pull those machines back up and get the scanner to work - thanks!), Oliver Lee (for help with the fish scene - certainly came out cool!), David Diehl (thanks for being there when needed and clearing out when the room gets too crowded), Phil Mitchell, Joe Callis and Gayatri Oswal (for support and answers). Special kudos to Nancy Stang and Perry Ball, who go beyond their own jobs constantly and are willing help in the MmScriptorium Lab, even when they have to learn new skills to do it. Many thanks!
Most importantly, we thank all those who called for answers, came by for help, scanned, scratched, screamed and cried. We appreciate being able to share with you. It is what Dr. Weems envisioned and what we strive to achieve.
