Upcoming Dataspace Webinars

[Christina Drummond]

Greetings All:

We are lucky to showcase our proof of concept dataspace data connector for OA book usage data in two upcoming webinars and The Scholarly Kitchen. While you already know about OAEBUDT, these webinars for publishers and repositories are designed to broaden awareness of our work across scholarly communications stakeholders, while also introducing other data space efforts that could influence how the OAEBUDT evolves.

Feel free to join me at these events to continue to inform where we go next.
