Hi all,
I'm enjoying the debate about the positioning of repositories, as
someone firmly in the multimedia camp rather than the . Can I bring
to your attention a day called "Beyond Walls" in April looking at
institutional audio and video work. There will be quite a few talks
about how institutions have delivered content to third party services
such as iTunes U, YouTube etc including my own experience at Oxford.
Also we'll be having some talks from academic podcast people and a
look at delivery channels and some community projects around
encoding,processing, delivery and lecture capture.
Hope you might like to join us !
