Joyce Thomson

Hi, I'm Digital Services Librarian at Saint Mary's University, a bit of a Digital Humanities Geek who feels like a sponge from all I've been learning in the past year. Has anyone else noticed the ground shifting beneath our feet lately?! Maritime History, women's life-writing and houses are my passions, so if you've got time to kill (or a diary to share!) chat me up about these things! Happy to hear from anyone about anything really, I'm pretty sociable, and I look forward to "seeing" you at APLA 2021.
