        From: Willard McCarty <willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk>
        Subject: extensive downloading & scholarship?

As standard practice I search for, usually find and download an
extensive range and amount of articles and books, take what I need from
them, buy this or that book that I actually need to read through or
otherwise consult repeatedly and file the material away according to a
scheme I've worked out. I assume this is more or less what most of us do.

My question is this: how has the practice I've just described affected
your scholarship? To what extent has it changed your disciplinary reach?
How has it affected your conception of the discipline in which you are
working? Do you poach or make a strong attempt to understand foreign
disciplinary contexts, their standards and ways of working?

Comments eagerly awaited.

Yours,
WM
