Next week (24-30 October) is Open Access week.
To ‘celebrate’ OA week 2011, I and two colleagues are taking part in a Repositories Support Project (RSP)-sponsored visit to another group of University repository staff: in fact we’re travelling the 300-ish miles up to the University of Glasgow to spend a day with the team responsible for Glasgow’s repository, Enlighten (William Nixon and his colleagues), discussing Repositories and REF preparation.
I’ll be blogging our visit and the themes of our discussion, both here and on the RSP blog at: http://rspproject.wordpress.com/
I’ve never been to Glasgow—university or city—and I’m personally very much looking forward to visiting! But I do know from previous RSP events and from Will’s Enlighten blog posts that Glasgow are involved in a load of very interesting work around building ‘CRIS-like’ functionality by extending and developing EPrints software.
Thanks to Will and his fellow repo rats for playing host for the day!
