Now that the Open Journal Matcher is more or less complete and shared with the world, I feel like it’s time for a new beginning. I like this part of my job: occasionally I arrive at a point where I get to reset and consider what’s next.
I’m going to take a different approach. In the past, I’ve sought out technologies to learn, and then once I knew enough about them, figured out ways to apply them to my library or my job. While that can be a sensible way to learn a technology, it’s a bit myopic and doesn’t necessarily provide the most benefit to the people around me. Going forward, I will aim to focus more specifically on people. Making this more explicit will hopefully push me to build more constructive projects.
