I work with publishers (of all shapes and sizes) on getting their content digitized and made accessible at JSTOR. My focus is primarily developing the journal archive collections, but since JSTOR has journals, books, and primary source materials, I need to think across all content types. As a semi-trained (and lapsed) classicist who read and translated works thousands of years old, I wonder a lot about the preservation and accessibility of literature produced now. I like to think "if you build it, he will come," but what is “it” that we need to build?

When not quoting from sports movies, I am a Boston sports fan surviving in New York.
