About

Hello.  I have a few different research activities at the moment. 
1. I'm currently investigating how practitioners from across film, music, television, radio, theatre, dance and live art preserve the traces of their own live work, and if/how they access the archives of others. 

If you have any opinions, questions or feedback about work in this field, please visit my informal research blog, 'The Stage, The Page, The Digital Age' - http://performingartsresearch.wordpress.com/

2. I currently work on the EC-funded DigCurV project (Digital Curation Vocational Education Europe), where we're looking to establish a curriculum framework for vocational training in digital curation.

3. I was a member of the JISC-funded 'Incremental' project team, looking at drawing together data management resources for researchers who are not records management specialists (i.e. almost everyone!)  We aimed to reposition existing guidance in a way that is meaningful to this group, without remaking stuff or being patronising. 
'Incremental' blog is at http://incrementalproject.wordpress.com/
and comments and feedback are always welcome.

4. I'm a member of the DaMSSI (Data Management Skills Support Initiative) team, which has recently completed work.  We were funded by the JISC and RIN and worked in collaboration with the DCC, overseen by the RIN Information-Handling Working Group.  We worked with the Vitae Researcher Development Framework and the SCONUL Seven Pillars of Information Literacy models, and supported a group of JISC training projects to use the models and give feedback on them.

I used to work on the EU-funded Planets project, which developed digital preservation services and tools.  For a list of my publications and deliverables from Planets, please visit:
