The Reading Experience Database is about 10 years old now. It seeks to gather and provide access to (from a community of scholars) evidence of the history of reading in the UK over a 500 years period (pretty ambitious huh?). It is built on some solid conceptual and scholarly ideas, and has just undergone a technical re-fit and will be re-launched in a few days.
Newsflash: At present, we are completing a substantial technical upgrade of the Reading Experience Database. We would like to apologise in advance for any difficulties contributors may encounter while completing online forms during this period. Within the next few months we will be launching a new, more user-friendly interface which we hope will make the process of contributing electronically both easier and faster. In the meantime, we suggest that if you are interested in providing any material for the database, you contact either Rosalind Crone (R dot H dot Crone@open.ac.uk) or Katie Halsey (Katie dot Halsey@sas.ac.uk).
