Less than three weeks have passed since I found myself at Open Repositories 2009 (#OR09) in Atlanta, and it already seems a long time ago. For the record, Georgia Tech put on an excellent show, overflowing with fascinating presentations, people and ideas – far too many to take in – and (most importantly) an excellent [...]

We were pleased to have finally made available version 1.0 of the JISC PoWR Handbook.

In the Handbook we’ve tried to cover a [...]
