  11. A Festival Research Database • Using what already exists and is underused • Scalable from small to large • Taking the legwork out – up and down the chain • A mutual resource – you give, you get • Holistic – ‘impact agnostic’ • Could be a trailblazer for other cultural research rfletcher@dmu.ac.uk - @rfletch0

  12. And finally - etymology • “Resilience” • 1620s, "act of rebounding," from Latin resiliens, present participle of resilire "to rebound, recoil," from re- "back" (see re-) + salire "to jump, leap" (see salient (adj.)). Cf. result (v.). Meaning "elasticity" is from 1824. rfletcher@dmu.ac.uk - @rfletch0
