[Dspace-general] DSpace training-UK

Hi Michele,

Due to project funding restrictions, we have to offer the free training
places to staff from English or Welsh universities (those funded by HEFCE or
HEFCW). If there are spaces free after that, we can look at offering them to
others for a small fee (to cover the cost of the room / refreshments etc).
However past experience suggests the course will get booked up very quickly.

But... we will be publishing the training materials online for free, so
anyone who wants to can make use of them. We are working with a group of
DSpace tutorial writers from across the globe to put this course together,
and we hope it will make a valuable contribution to the DSpace platform.

Best wishes,


Stuart
