Apologies for the cross-posting.
Plans are in the works for a half day DSpace User Group Meeting from 8:30am to
12:30pm on March 5, 2012 in Kansas City, Missouri, immediately following the
SPARC Open Access Meeting (http://www.arl.org/sparc/meetings/oa12/) on March
2-4.
We are in the process of developing the agenda and recruiting presenters. This
has traditionally been a fairly informal meeting with lots of opportunity for
networking with other DSpace users. In fact, we highly recommend that if
possible you plan to allow time after the session to go to lunch and continue
small group conversations around specific areas of interest.
Plans are still developing, but the meeting will likely include:
- Update on 4.0 and beyond
- DSpace tutorial (specific topic TBD)*
- Community Show & Tell
- Structured networking session (potential topics for discussion - upgrading to
4.0, repository bibliometrics, identifiers, APIs, DSpace and CC licenses, JSPUI
vs XMLUI)
If you have specific suggestions for other content (presentations, tutorials,
discussions, etc.) to include in the meeting please feel free to email me at
vhollis...@duraspace.org.
