Summary
Now that your appetite for learning about born-digital content has been properly whetted, we imagine that you would like to know the best resources available to you to learn more. Here we provide information about books, journals, technical registries, generally helpful websites and, perhaps most importantly, communities of practice that you can reach out to in order to expand your knowledge and capabilities. A few of the resources listed below are repeated from the further reading sections at the end of each chapter, but we have done so because we believe they are valuable enough to gather into this overarching resource section.
