Monday, October 22nd, 2012UKOLN Contributions to JISC Inform
Thursday, March 29th, 2012The latest issue of the JISC Inform newsletter was published yesterday and contained two articles from UKOLN. One article provides advice on how institutions should respond to the ‘cookie’ legislation which comes into force on 26 May. A second article entitled Making the most of the open web, in which “three experts discuss how to use the social web to increase traffic to your work and make it more discoverable”, describes sound approaches to the use of blogs as an open practice.
Openness Should ‘go deep’
Thursday, June 16th, 2011In an article published in the magazine Research Information today, Brian Kelly has “challenged the higher-education community to go beyond open access to published research in the pursuit of openness”. The article argues that, in addition to encouraging open access to research publications, there is a need to provide open access to data about research publications provided in institutional repositories.
