This week I’m attending the JCDL 2011 (ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries) in Ottawa, Canada and presenting during the Thinking Back and Looking Forward session of the Disciplinary Repositories Workshop.  This year’s theme is “Digital Libraries: Bringing Together Scholars, Scholarship and Research Data” and our workshop will give anyone the chance to see how disciplinary repositories really work.  This is your chance to ask real questions to real people that are running real DRs.  Here is a list of presenters.

If you too are attending and would like to meetup, send me a message.

Here are the latest announcements from SSRN:
