Thanks everyone for the insights and the tips about where to find things now (& from then). I guess (hope) the lack of use of Collective Memory doesn't indicate that no-one in the sci-comm world is interested in learning from others' past successes & failures, but perhaps just more likely to google* or look elsewhere in the literature, now that there is more of that. Or even ask the 'community', which is possibly one reason why this old-fashioned list keeps trundling along. Cheers anyway, Alison. * I hear a rumour other search engines are available...
