OpenAIRE Presentation and Launch Event

In September 2010, IMLS awarded a collaborative planning grant to investigate “Library-based Publishing Programs: Strategies for Success” to Purdue University, Georgia Tech, and University of Utah Libraries. Additional information about the award and project scope is available at: http://www.arl.org/sparc/partnering/library-publishing-services-project.shtml

PKP participated in a very successful conference, Implementing the Durham Statement: Best Practices for Open Access Law Journals, on Friday, Oct. 22nd (during Open Access Week). The conference covered a lot of ground: major topics included moving law journals away from print; authentication and versioning of online data; and preservation.

The PKP Team is happy to announce that the University of Murcia is now providing a course, in Spanish, on using Open Journal Systems in a scholarly publishing environment. Titled Electronic Publishing of Scholar Journals with Open Journal Systems (OJS), the course will explore the current issues surrounding the electronic publishing of scholar journals, and will fully explore the web application OJS.
