2014 was a good year for me. I spent my time mostly working on scholarly communications projects, including the meTypeset software for the Public Knowledge Project and then establishing the Open Library of Humanities with a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. I was in two minds to post this as I think this round-up probably contributes towards the University as "anxiety machine", about which Richard Hall and others have so brilliantly written. That said, I enjoy looking back on what I did, having a record -- as I was reminded, seeing my 2013 review. So, there you have it.
