I'm re-reading piles of books. 83 of my fave childhood books are banned nationwide.
If you need a digital copy of a banned book, PM me. I will send you a copy.
I have a lifetime membership to the National Archives and the Library of Congress. Most Out of Print and Banned books are PDF form but can easily be converted for ereaders. Banning books is a form of bullying and you'll never get me to believe otherwise. Save digital copies to thumbdrives, phone memory, tablet memory, SDcards, flash drives. AND SHARE THEM.

The Sakya Monastery in tibet has a library comprising some 84,000 books. Most are Buddhist scriptures, but there are works of literature, history, philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, agriculture, and art. They date back centuries.
In 2011 they began to digitize the library. All books are indexed and about 20% have been fully digitized.

My previous research experience is in heritage and higher education for the arts.
My PhD was about knowledge frameworks and the affordances of digital tools and representations in research, in relation to research reuse, transparency and inclusivity.
I would love to be able to contribute more to innovative work on research and knowledge representations.
I am open to new possibilities! In particular I am interested in the possibility of becoming involved in sustainability and biodiversity-related research.
I am a full-stack web developer, and have a good deal of front-end design experience. I am open to all opportunities, particularly remote working!
I am not great at this self-promotion thing...
I will be putting a portfolio site online soon, but am happy to share a CV with anyone who is interested in the meantime.
