Hi, just to follow on from this posting, If you've been to a previous OAI Geneva workshop you'll
know that it's preceded by a series of practical, often interactive tutorials. For example, last
time these included one on advocacy and policy issues, and one on the Eprints3 software.
If there is a particular topic you'd like to see covered during one of these tutorials at the next
workshop, please could you email me (off-list probably).
I already have requests for tutorials on:
· Current Research Information Systems and combinations or links between a CRIS and repository
· Copyright / digital rights
· Enhanced publications ('data+paper')
· Virtual research environments
· Persistent identifiers and digital preservation
· Usage & citation
· EPrints 3.1
· Repositories and Web2.0
thanks
Neil
