In addition to the sessions publicised earlier, the Aston University and Queen's University workshops will now also include a short talk and demonstration by MIDAS of the JSTOR project. There are still a few places left on the Aston Workshop, but please note that today (Thursday) is the last day for bookings - please contact Andrea Durbin of BIDS asap if you would like to attend. Please note that the Bristol workshop is now closed.
