I'm excited to be involved in this suite of projects, and looking forward to contributing through the RSE Capacity Enhancement Project (RSE-CEP). It's a wonderful opportunity to work with the ARDC, and one of the first major projects led by our new ANU HASS Digital Research Hub: hdrh.anu.edu.au.

Exciting book out early next year! It will be open access 6 months after print publication. I have a chapter in there on shadow libraries as infrastructure.
