| Results and Impact | Gave a 20 minute talk on my to-date work with the PhD, and findings. Staff present were involved in digital curation initiatives, and had an active interest in my findings, as their role, in part, is to develop future collection and preservation policies for the British Library. The talk resulted in a meeting with their team leader, who wanted further information. My findings raised questions about things they had not yet considered, which made it helpful to them. |
