Thanks Sonia, and Hannah. I do think that it’s important to discuss not just the theoretical aspects of our work, but the very practical ones as well. It’s really basic questions like the one I emailed Dean with recently–“What do I do after I’ve finished scanning everything?”–that often don’t have obvious answers. Dean and Meg jokingly call EMiC “where we get it wrong the first time,” and I’m happy to share my false-starts and wrong choices so that other people can avoid them.

Like your conference presentation this weekend, I really appreciate this post, Melissa. It is incredibly exciting and useful to hear a play-by-play of another graduate student working through the practicalities of their work, and I appreciate the spirit in which you share this with the larger group. I can’t wait to read more!

Paradoxes always fascinate me, as do the people and ideas that resolve them. Thanks for pointing to the “oft-conflicting impulses to both protect and make available their holdings” – I had not thought of it quite like that previously. I’m looking forward to seeing you “safely” resurrect and make available this material…as well as… being witness to your juggling act of professional, academic, personal and hobby-horse obligations. If anyone can accomplish this with grace, a.k.a. meticulous planning, it is you, Ms. Dalgleish.
