[Dspace-general] Upcoming IR Conference in Utah Sept. 30

[Valorie Hollister]

Dear DSpace Community,

There is an opportunity to be on a panel and get some exposure for  
your DSpace repository at the upcoming IR Conference at Utah State  
University (see details and link below).

Conference organizers have representatives from other platforms  
(bepress, Fedora, Contentdm) and are currently looking for a DSpace  
representative. Unfortunately there is no travel reimbursement  
available, but DuraSpace would be happy to help in other ways  
(providing panelist with DSpace presentation slides, brochures, etc).  
Please contact me and Heather Leary if you are interested in finding  
out more information.
