[Rdap] For Open Access Week 2012 DuraSpace Asks, "What Splendid Stuff is in YOUR Repository?"

[Carol Minton Morris]

Dear Friend of Open Access,

During the week of October 21-28, 2012 <http://www.openaccessweek.org/> the
world will celebrate Open Access to a growing web of scholarly, scientific
and cultural heritage resources and research outputs. Providing Open Access
to resources is a badge of honor for institutions who freely share
knowledge with the world over the Internet. Many of us  have an idea of
what is held in repositories–digital facsimiles of books, papers, journals,
photographs, scans of artworks and media. The general public, however, has
little knowledge of what specific types of interesting knowledge resources
are held in Open Access repositories.

DuraSpace has collected more than 30 vignettes that tell some of the
stories behind the surprising, amazing and eclectic materials that can be
found in DSpace and Fedora repositories from around the world in the "For
Your Repository Viewing Pleasure" series. These blog posts provide views
into repositories with pointers to notable collections.

In honor of Open Access Week DuraSpace would like to round up and publish
additional "For Your Repository Viewing Pleasure" stories to help answer
the question, "What splendid stuff is in YOUR repository?"

Please send descriptions of treasures, surprising special collections,
interesting items, treasures, artifacts, and/or inspirational resources
that are freely available from your Open Access repository to inspire,
delight and inform. DuraSpace will highlight their availability in the
coming year. Please contact me at
<cmmorris at duraspace.org<http://mailto:cmmorris@duraspace.org>>
for more information or to talk about what's in your repository.


All the best,

Carol Minton Morris
