23 Things reflection
I started Edinburgh University’s 23 Things for Digital Knowledge around a year ago and I’ve found it really worthwhile.

Thing 15: Digital Curation
Before I became a librarian, I had never heard the phrase library jargon. Now it’s something I think about whenever I’m preparing to teach or talk about pedagogy. Unfamiliar or overly specific language can be a barrier for students but it’s tricky to know what to use instead. Is ‘online archive’ clearer for students than… Read more Thing 15: Digital Curation
