    Greetings!

    You may have noticed that the dh+lib Review is on hiatus this semester, in order to afford us time and energy to care for ourselves and to reimagine our editorial workflows. Towards that, and with so many terrific events and opportunities this spring, we offer you this March digest. See you again this fall, if not sooner!

    On behalf of the editors,
    Nickoal Eichmann-Kalwara (she/her/hers), Lead Editor
    Digital Scholarship Librarian / Assistant Professor
