We've had some very good coverage thanks to a couple of staff associated
with Oxford University, arising from the editathon that I, Doug and Deskana
led last week.
An article for Guardian Higher Education Network by Liz MacCarthy (Bodleian
Libraries) and Kate Lindsay (Oxford University)

This quote in particular warms my heart, given the resistance we sometimes

Another article by Liz and Kate, this time for Oxford Today, the Oxford
University publication for members and alumni. I'm not sure yet if this
will appear in the paper magazine, or just online.
