i was just sifting through my bloglines account, a web-based software program which very neatly organizes the latest posts on all the blogs i like to read. i got to the posts at open access news and saw a link to an article that appeared to be about metadata. i clicked on the link, read the article, thought i’d like to know more, clicked over to the site being discussed, see that the url is from usc.edu. i scrolled around on the site and saw that it is indeed a project going on RIGHT AT MY OWN UNIVERSITY, and i wouldn’t have known anything about it without the blog post. it’s about connections, serendipity, and potential collaborations. that said, i’m on my way to email the creators of the project just to say hello.
