MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
I wish you safe travels if you are preparing as I am, to attend Open Repositories 2017 in Brisbane, Australia. I'll see you there!
Thank you to renewing members of DuraSpace, and a warm welcome to new members (Val, please add).
Tomorrow we are offering a web seminar beginning at 11:30 AM EDT in collaboration with our friends at 4Science, "DSpace-CRIS: How it works and how to leverage it". Be sure to tune to learn more DSpace-CRIS which allows creation and management of any kind of entity–researchers, organizations, projects–and the relationships among those entities. There's still time to register for this free web seminar here.
