So we can see the epic collision of two ancient media forms: the codex and the keyboard. We are now experiencing not only the second revolution of printed books but also the revolution of keyboard literacy, as readers learn to compensate for the paucity of information available through print. Why expect our students to learn Greek from a book when they can get the same information in radio? Radio is cheap. It is portable. And it allows them to listen to classical Greek programs from a variety of sources -- thus exposing them to the work of a range of authors and not just the work of a single author. Radio can even reward expertise: students find themselves immediately aware of the differences between and the "correct" way of using the language. Radio was particularly revolutionary in allowing people to listen to classical music without the expense of a large collection. An amalgamation of the libraries of Cornell University and the London School of Economics, ASKLEPIOS contains the music of Stravinsky, the Russian composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the classical Chinese and Indian music of the last 200 years. Anyone with a radio can acquire huge amounts of information in an hour. And anyone with a radio can listen to broadcast classical music without the need for a classical collection. Radio-equipped PCs now offer a more complete set of options, ranging from what we might loosely call "classical music dance" programs to archived episodes of the BBC radio documentary series only tangentially classical. Only a decade ago, the use of the Internet to access the classics and broadcast music meant that we could not organize our collection into a coherent library, and we could not provide a single link to the radio archives of classical music and "classical dance." Now, we can offer such links. ASKLEPIOS not only provides access to the classical music archive (the classici online music archive) but also to the popular music archives of Allen's and BMI. All of this is kept up-to-date by the cross-referencing programs of INOSTIA. What could previous generations of classics scholars have done with such resources? Pioneering classics scholar Constance Britton certainly had the capacity to read great handbooks of Latin grammar and to listen to recordings of Elizabethan poetry from the Percy Society. d2c66b5586
