<i>Read it online: <a href="http://bit.ly/OTAI4l" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/OTAI4l</a></i><br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>Dear Friend of Open Access,<br><br>During the week of <a href="http://www.openaccessweek.org/" target="_blank">October 21-28, 2012</a>
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.
<p>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.</p>

<p>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?"</p>
<p>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 <<a href="http://mailto:cmmorris@duraspace.org" target="_blank">cmmorris@duraspace.org</a>> for more information or to talk about what's in your repository.</p>
