Quarterly Meeting at UC San Diego

Hi folks,

We're going to be meeting for the last quarterly meeting of 2016 on Friday, November 18th at the UC San Diego Geisel Library.

We've booked our Seuss conference room, and will be meeting from 10am-3pm as usual.

We're hopefully going to be able to provide morning snacks and lunch, and I'll follow up when we have more details.

Erin Glass - Digital Commons

In the past several years, a growing number of scholarly institutions have begun setting up “digital commons” as a means to promote collaboration and community among their members. Powered by the open source software package Commons in a Box (CBOX), these digital commons supplement traditional institutional websites with a multipurpose virtual space for members to interact with one another and share their research with the broader public. In this talk, I will discuss some of the opportunities and challenges related to campus-based digital commons with the aim of eliciting a discussion about how libraries might support their development.
