The latest 2-day EPrints training course is to be run from Thursday 3rd May 2007 in Southampton, UK. These short, focussed courses develop the skills required to deliver and maintain an effective repository, and provide hands-on experience of using EPrints. Course are taught by the experts, that is, by the developers of EPrints. This course will be led by Tim Miles-Board, manager of EPrints Services and responsible for many EPrints repositories, with support from other members of the development team. Courses are aimed at all repository team members - librarians, managers, and technical staff - of new and prospective institutional adopters of EPrints, and can also benefit new members joining established EPrints teams. Previous participants have described the course as 'empowering', improving their own role as well as helping them to understand and work effectively with other team members. For the first time the course will be run using EPrints version 3.0, the latest release, as the platform for practical training. EPrints v 3 has been described as "a significant milestone towards ideal repository software". Over the two days the course will cover Day 1 - Repository Capabilities and Customisation Day 2 - Advanced Repository Customisation A programme overview can be found on http://www.eprints.org/services/training/ An important feature of training courses is the opportunity to meet colleagues from other institutions and to share experiences in formal and informal settings, including an evening social event.
