Memorable

If I were an NEH panelist looking at this, I'd give it the highest rating. Beta or not, it's setting the standard for digital humanities, collaboration with institutional entities, and disseminating widely to the public--and the world.

Damn fine, as MT himself might say. You have really set the bar high. Thanks for sharing. I'll share with my Chair and Dean.“

– Mark L. Kamrath, General Editor, Charles Brockden Brown Electronic Archive and Scholarly Edition

“As a rather heavy user of information services, I have to say that all of you at CDL UCOP provide the most thorough, conscientious, prompt, efficient, and useful service I have ever encountered in my 20 years of experience online (going way back to DIALOG and long before the web). “

“I'm not exaggerating when I say that the libraries' implementation of the 'digital revolution' is a major plus for us scholars working at UC. You go! “
