Berti, <strong>and</strong> Mari<strong>on</strong> Lame, <strong>and</strong> to all Perseus Project staff members, present <strong>and</strong> past, who made the<br />

writ<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g of this work far easier, not <strong>on</strong>ly by provid<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g a w<strong>on</strong>derful <strong>and</strong> supportive work envir<strong>on</strong>ment<br />

but also by c<strong>on</strong>t<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>u<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g to produce far more <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>terest<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g <strong>and</strong> excit<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g work than any author could ever<br />

summarize. In additi<strong>on</strong>, I would like to thank Amy Friedl<strong>and</strong>er as well as Kathl<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> Smith, Brian Leney,<br />

<strong>and</strong> Jessica Wade at the <str<strong>on</strong>g>Council</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> <strong>Library</strong> <strong>and</strong> Informati<strong>on</strong> Resources for their help <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> publish<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g<br />

both the draft <strong>and</strong> the f<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>al versi<strong>on</strong> of this review. Thanks are also due to my family <strong>and</strong> friends who<br />

make all the work I do possible. This work was funded through a generous grant from the Institute for<br />

Museum <strong>and</strong> <strong>Library</strong> Services with <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>stituti<strong>on</strong>al support from Tufts University.<br />

AUTHOR’S NOTE<br />

The f<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>al versi<strong>on</strong> of this report has benefited greatly from the thorough commentary of many<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>dividuals, <strong>and</strong> the author greatly appreciates the time reviewers took to offer suggesti<strong>on</strong>s. Ow<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g<br />

both to time c<strong>on</strong>stra<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>ts <strong>and</strong> to the object of this work, which was to provide a summative <strong>and</strong> recent<br />

overview of the use of digital technologies <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> classics rather than a critical <strong>and</strong> comprehensive history<br />

of the use of comput<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> each of the many related discipl<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>es of classics, a number of important<br />

articles <strong>and</strong> books have not received the level of attenti<strong>on</strong> they deserve. I have attempted <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> this f<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>al<br />

versi<strong>on</strong> to <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>clude references to all missed works that commentators brought to my attenti<strong>on</strong>, but I have<br />

not been able to adequately address all of the thoughtful <strong>and</strong> comprehensive comments received. As<br />

with any literature review, the goal has been to highlight important themes <strong>and</strong> projects, a difficult<br />

challenge for such a dynamic <strong>and</strong> evolv<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g field as digital classics. All omissi<strong>on</strong>s are solely the fault of<br />

the author, but as this f<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>al versi<strong>on</strong> has been published under a Creative Comm<strong>on</strong>s Attributi<strong>on</strong> Share-<br />

Alike license, it is hoped that others can make use of this work, improve it, <strong>and</strong> help keep it up-to-date.<br />
