DSpace e-forum: an online discussion
On January 20-21, a volunteer from the DuraSpace community will moderate an
electronic discussion forum, the first in a pilot series. These two-day
moderated electronic discussion forums will provide an opportunity for
practitioners to discuss topics through the DSpace-General listserv.
If you are a manager, administrator, cataloger, or are in any way involved in
repository work, please participate in the discussion, to share your thoughts
or learn new approaches to running a successful institutional repository. To
participate, you must be signed up for the DSpace-General listserv. If you are
currently a member of the listserv, you will automatically be included on the
discussion forum.
Our first discussion:
January 20-21, 2010
"Is DSpace 1.7 on your roadmap?"
moderated by Alice Platt, Southern New Hampshire University
Discussion will begin at 10 a.m. E.S.T. Jan. 20 and conclude at 6 p.m. E.S.T.
Jan. 21.*
DSpace 1.7 has just been released. Join this inaugural discussion to find out
what the new features are and hear from those who have upgraded. Is DSpace 1.7
on your institutional roadmap? Why or why not?
**
Future E-Forum topics will be announced, and are scheduled to take place on
March 17-18, and May 19-20.
The discussions are free and open to the public and will take place on the
DSpace General listserv. To sign up for this listserv go to:
http://www.dspace.org/Mailing-Lists/
For those who are unable to participate, key points and comments will be
summarized and posted to the listserv at the end of each discussion.
*We realize that DSpace users are active around the globe, so you may respond
to the forum in your own time. However, the schedule does indicate when the
moderators will be available.
Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.
