Acknowledgements - draft #2

Our thanks go first to the eight authors of this unique anthology for their generative 'essays,' their ongoing ideas and feedback, and extraordinary patience as we all came to terms with this novel form of scholarly publishing using Scalar, the novel content management system that is the platform for this anthology. Scalar is designed and developed by a team at the University of Southern California and we're particularly grateful for this unique opportunity to work with this innovation in publishing, so our thanks go to Steve Anderson, Tara McPherson, Craig Dietrich and Erik Loyer for their interest and support of our endeavour. As part of the editorial process, the collection was strengthened by the creative and intellectual contributions of individual editors who worked uniquely with one contributor, and so we would like to thank Sheila Schroeder, Kim Sawchuk, and David Clark for their unique editorial support,  as well as  acknowledge Adrian Miles, Will Luers and Chris Hanson (who as well as authoring contributions), generously worked editorially with some authors. Profuse thanks to our research assistants Vanessa Meyer and Alison Naturale, for their enthusiasm and dynamic efforts, as they laboured in the last stretch of editing and production to help us better understand the capabilities of Scalar, and bring our project to its completion. [any other students?]

We'd like to acknowledge the funding that has underwritten the production of this anthology: an initial round of funding from the FQRSC for the Concordia Interactive Narrative Experimentation and Research Group, which together with support from the VPRSG at Concordia, allowed us to stage Database|Narrative|Archive, an international symposium held in Montreal in May 2011. Since then, we have benefited from the support of a SSHRC grant, through which we have continued the development of the Korsakow System, and the assembly, editing and design of this publication.
