Q8: Have you ever accessed the actual collections at any of the IDP partner sites? e.g. Dunhuang manuscripts, Stein paintings.: A8: n/a
Q9: If you have any other comments, please add them here: A9: I have used the manuscripts frequently, and would enjoy an improvement to the search results (perhaps with improved metadata, such as period (Tibetan Administration, Guiyijin, etc.) and language(s)), though I recognize the large cost associated. Bibliographic links are sometimes broken, and it can be difficult to use some of the bibliographic citations (particularly those which are abbreviations or short forms) to find the associated articles or books. That said, IDP is an invaluable resource, and one that I return to constantly. In addition to the manuscripts (and their incredibly useful associated catalogue entries), several teaching tools and research are excellent. My favourites are Chinnery's article on book formats (invaluable!), the online catalogue "The Silk Road: Trade, Travel, War and Faith," which has a beautiful design, and the various maps, esp. regarding the spread of different forms of Buddhism.

Q20: Which of the following best describes your view of the support you have received from using IDP?: A20: I would not have achieved my research aims, without the IDP resources
Q20.a: Please add any comments on how IDP has supported your Research: A20.a: As a mere Master's student, I am completely without funding to travel to see these manuscripts, murals, and the like in person. My research - and my training leading to this field of research - would be literally impossible for me without the resources (especially the scans of manuscripts and photographs) provided by IDP.
Q21: What other online resources relating to the Silk Road do you use?: A21: Mellon International Dunhuang Archive (Artstor) / CBETA (Chinese Buddhist Electronic Text Association) (http://www.cbeta.org) / The Silk Road Foundation (http://www.silk-road.com/toc/index.html) / The Silk Road Project (http://www.silkroadproject.org/) / Digital Silk Road (http://dsr.nii.ac.jp/index.html.en) Old Tibetan Texts Online (http://otdo.aa.tufs.ac.jp/) / Early Tibet blog (http://earlytibet.com/)
Q22: Please add any other comments you may have here: A22: If there are changes to IDP's design, please keep it simple to load and view. Flash introductions and the like are attractive but pose difficulties for some viewers (esp. on mobile devices or slow Internet connections), and moreover are irritating to frequent visitors (even with a skip button). The current design is attractive enough, and I would prefer a few more scanned manuscripts or artefacts rather than a prettier design. On the topic of manuscript digitization, let me first thank the IDP staff again for their tireless dedication, and secondly to ask that some of the mss featured on IDP's sister sites (such as Early Tibet, another wonderful resource, and OTDO) perhaps be given some priority for scanning. After reading about incredible Tibetan documents on either site, one sometimes finds that there are no scans of the manuscript in question. That said, this is a relatively rare occurrence. Also, as a student of book history and codicology, I a m extremely thankful for the detailed scans of manuscripts made available. Illustrations, scribal marks, rubrication, seal impressions, and the like must be seen to be fully appreciated. Thanks you for including excellent scans, and I hope that IDP will continue to offer such resources.

Q9: If you have any other comments, please add them here: A9: Search tool seems very powerful, but finding simple things seems very difficult, e.g. "Uighur Manichaeism" or "contracts". This is the kind of search I'd expect to be able to do to find a selection of items that I could put in a powerpoint for teaching a class. I'd also like to be able to point students to that whole selection so that they can explore it for themselves outside class.

Q29: Please add any other comments you have here: A29: As a photographer, visuals are important to me. I am speaking only as a layperson, and I hesitate to comment because your site is not intended for 'casual' use, or simply intellectual "entertainment". However, with that consideration aside, I would like to see more images, and more use of images. The Dunhuang project is fascinating, and I don't have so much time to visit, but it is rather thrilling to visit on occasion...Thank you....

Q8: Have you ever accessed the actual collections at any of the IDP partner sites? e.g. Dunhuang manuscripts, Stein paintings.: A8: British Museum, London
Q9: If you have any other comments, please add them here: A9: Silk route seems to be a system to which many regions (other than the ones directly connected) of the Himalaya appear to have been connected - a sort of world system? Should this possibility be researched? I find it important in the context of Indo-Central Asian/Tibetan trade in antiquity through South Asian Himalayan region.

Following the model of the Pelliot collection and catalog, truly new research is possible once the standard catalog is searchable. Coverage/progress in digization: please provide more detail for each collection of SMS concerning how many out of the total has been digitized. Searching: Please explain the shelf mark system for each collection. T,his will make searching much easier. I spend several hours each time I teach a Dunhuang seminar on this subject. E.e., speroid(no space)5545, but Pelliot (space) chinois (space) 2003. IDP is the most productive scholarly tool on the Internet and you all are to be congratulated 10,000 times. Please keep up the good work and urge the individual collections to put their best catalogues online especially the Beijing collection and the catalogue entries at the end of each Shanghai Guoji volume by Fang Guangchang.

Q9: If you have any other comments, please add them here: A9: I cannot figure out, and it is not specified anywhere I could find, how to locate whether, for instance, there is a MS of a specific text with a Taisho number (Chinese) or Peking/Derge etc number (Tibetan), or by text title, or any other way I could figure out except a catalogue number, but even trying to use a Giles number I could not find the entry for an item I knew to exist! I once found something in the La Vallee Poussin catalogue (for which however there was no photo) but it did not come up by title. This makes it virtually impossible for me to try to use the database. Maybe all of this is possible, but at least where I looked I found no guidance as to how to use the tools provided. :(
