I'm very pleased to send you the book Guidelines for the creation of institutional repositories at universities and higher education institutions, prepared by the Group of Scientific Information Repositories coordinated by Antonio Fernández Porcel, of Granada University.
The document is presented in a trilingual mode; with the purpose of represent the languages that embrace a great number of partner institutions of ALFA Network Babel Library, as well as to make more accessible its contents to a wider audience.
We will shortly have available in a few weeks the Handbook of didactic strategies for the use of ICT's in higher education institutions.
The post was forwarded to JISC-Repositories by I.M. Johnson, who added:
These are some of the outputs from a recent project funded by the European Commission aimed at sharing best practice with Latin American Universities.
The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
