Announcements

• The Duraspace Summit. Each year, Duraspace holds a summit meeting of its members. This year, the meeting is March 16-17 in Washington DC at the Cosmos Club.
  New at the VIVO Conference this year. This year, the conference is offering opportunities for institutional sponsors to support students and others to attend the conference through registration waivers. Would you like to support attendance at the conference and promote your institution at the same time? Consider institutional sponsorship of the VIVO conference. See VIVO Conference Sponsorship Prospectus for this opportunity to sponsor the conference, help people attend, and promote your institution.

• The VIVO Strategic Plan. Back in December of 2014, VIVO finalized a two year strategic plan. See VIVO Strategic Plan 2015-2016. It is time to update the plan for 2017-2018. The strategic planning process will begin at the summit with the members and the leadership group. Dean B. Krafft will lead a discussion of issues related to VIVO's future. From there, we will continue the discussion in our interest groups, at our meetings, at the conference, and in final planning this fall. By December we will have a final draft for review by the community and the governance groups. And by January of 2017 we will be operating under a new plan. You may wish to review the strategic plan to prepare for these conversations. We hope to hear from you!

• Notes on the George Washington University implementation. Justin Littman of GWU has written a great summary[link needed] of the implementation of VIVO at the George Washington University, known as GW Expert Finder. Justin addresses issues common to VIVO implementations. Highly recommended.
