First of all, this a charming account. Very engagingly written—you ought to win an essay prize for it. It is also an edifying case study for those considering applying for an Technology Improvement Award and I enjoyed hearing about what you have learned by interacting with all our colleagues (how we will miss Maryanne Blake!). And as someone who has worked on a project funded by an award from the NN and as someone interested in grants and other funding opportunities, I found it really fascinating to hear about the genesis of your application and what you learned along the way. I found this a key point and important lesson. “…people who come to a clinic are often ill and don’t want a helpful librarian just then.” The Technology Improvement Award is an important program and it is interesting to read what awardees do with the funding. Nicely done. Hi, Jane. First of all, this a charming account. Very engagingly written—you ought to win an essay prize for it.
