So grateful both to the @NEH_ODH and @_FromThePage_ for the opportunity to be part of this incredible project with implications for archival research!

Plastic pollution has contaminated every continent on Earth.

Currently attending #SPARCAfrica. Amazing work done by UCT libraries to address access to content in constitutional law, via an open textbook to address cost issues & high failure rate. They have already launched an open textbook in ENT! #OASymp2019

[lorraine j haricombe @ljharicombe]

Yet another option for accessing the rich and diverse collections of the UT Libraries...
