Did you get a chance to present at Open Repositories 2019, but would like to share with your colleagues who were unable to attend? Did OR19 spark a new idea or interest in DSpace? Or, were you unable to travel to Germany and would like a chance to connect with the DSpace community?


The 2019 DSpace North American Users Group planning committee invites proposals for the upcoming meeting which will be held September 23 & 24, 2019 at the Elmer L. Andersen Library at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. Our new proposal due date is Friday, June 28, 2019.


This meeting will provide opportunities to discuss ideas, strategies, best practices, use cases, and the future development of DSpace 7 with members of the DSpace community including repository developers, technology directors, and institutional repository managers.


We are looking for proposals to cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to:

  • DSpace 7 development and integration

  • Upgrading or migrating to DSpace

  • Accessibility

  • DSpace for research data

  • DSpace for cultural heritage

  • Analytics and assessment

  • Institutional repositories / scholarly communication issues

  • “Show and Tell” - share your success and challenges

  • Anything else you would like to share with the community!


We are seeking proposals in the following formats:

  • Lightning Talk (5-10 min) - a brief, freestanding presentation, with or without slides, including Q&A

  • Presentation (20 min) - a more comprehensive, freestanding presentation, including Q&A

  • Discussion Panel (45 min) - a collection of brief presentations on a topic or area, including a moderated Q&A or open discussion

  • Workshop - an instructor-led workshop on a topic or tool

  • Birds-of-a-feather - breakout sessions for attendees to engage in a particular topic



Submit a proposal by June 28, 2019.


Notifications of acceptance will be sent by July 15, 2019.

Dear Erik,

 

Is the plan to copy the 2017 schedule and run sessions from mid-day on the 23rd through the end of the day on the 24th? I'm working on travel plans, and I'm wondering if I can arrive on the morning of the 23rd.

 

Thank you,

 

Helen
