***Apologies for Cross Posting***
Coventry and Royal Holloway are two institutions in the UK who have been using or piloting Equella as their repository platform. Andy Syson and myself will be participating in two seminars organised by The Learning Edge Europe, suppliers of Equella, for anyone in the UK community interested in finding out about the features of Equella and our experiences of implementing it. This may provide a useful follow up to the RSP Software Day next week. I look forward to meeting many of you there, or at our hosted seminar in April.
More information on the events is provided by The Learning Edge Europe below, including links to booking forms if you are interested in attending.

It is our pleasure to invite you to the upcoming EQUELLA seminars, hosted by Coventry University and Royal Holloway. The seminars will showcase the benefits of implementing a Learning Content Management System to effectively manage a range of institutional content including VLE materials, research papers and scanned content conforming to the Copyright Licensing Act.
* The Coventry event will take place on Tuesday March 24th. The event will be hosted by Coventry University's CURVE team ( http://cuba.coventry.ac.uk/curve/ ) CURVE's aim is to provide easy discoverability, management and access to a wide variety of digital assets including learning objects, important archive material and research outputs. Dr. Andy Syson of Coventry University will share his experiences.
* The London event will take place on Thursday April 2nd, hosted by Royal Holloway's research repository project team. Royal Holloway are currently implementing EQUELLA, with the objective of managing their research and copyright materials. Alison Pope will be sharing her experiences.
Both seminars will also include sessions on:
* Overall trends in Learning Content Management Systems
* Migration of Learning Content from one VLE to another (including VLEs such as Blackboard, Moodle, Sakai and Studywiz)
* Use of one LCMS system with multiple VLEs - valuable in regional partnerships
* CLA (Copyright Licensing Act) issues for Libraries when photocopying or scanning
* Unlocking research outcomes
The program for both days will run from 9:30AM to 12:30PM, followed by lunch.
