Meet Dan Cohen
The Center for History and New Media at Mason is a group of smart, energetic humanities-computing professionals with an excellent track record, big ideas and bigger plans. Among those plans is Firefox Scholar, which I’m happily watching develop.
I encourage all my techie-librarian readers to subscribe to Dan Cohen’s new weblog. Dan is CHNM’s Director of Research Projects, and CHNM’s research projects have a lot in common with what digital librarians are considering and doing.
(Bias note: Everybody knows I work at Mason, right? And I’m hoping that CHNM will pass one or two of their earlier projects to me for archival. That said, I think CHNM is tremendously cool, and will still think so even if I don’t get my hands on their bytes.)
