My original training was in 19th- and 20-century French narrative fiction. My main critical interest has been in intertextuality, and I consider myself fairly strong at close reading. These interests converge in my current and (hopefully) future digital projects. Litgloss provides expert annotations of texts written in languages other than English to support reading comprehension. I hope that my next project will also involve annotations, but not lexical ones: I'm interested in starting a collaboratively constructed literary archive in which any given text is connected both forward and backward in time with texts which quote it / from which it quotes, and which then then permits visualizations of patterns of quotation.

Ideas gleaned from the DHSI at the University of Victoria:

• DHIB can adapt the UVic model and offer training both for an on-campus (in January?) and a regional and perhaps national audience
• DHIB has extremely valuable connections to be explored with digital humanities scholars in Ontario and Rochester
• DHIB should sign on early and energetically with the Public Knowledge Project. If we were to host online journals for scholars in smaller countries with which we have ties, this would be a service which benefits us as much as them.
