[Dspace-general] NOTICE: dspace-general listserv will move on Jan 27

[Tim Donohue]

All,

Just a reminder that we'll be migrating the 'dspace-general' listserv 
today (likely over the next 2-3 hours).  I'll send a notice once it has 
been fully migrated.

See my email from last week (included below) for more information.

Thanks,

Tim
