Dates: Wednesdays June 12, July 10, August 14, 2024
Time: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm ET
The CARL Canadian Repositories Community of Practice invites you to join our Summer Article Club, a series of engaging discussions centered on institutional repositories.
Three sessions will be offered throughout the summer, each featuring a different article or report chosen by our working group. Participants are encouraged to read the selected material before each meeting to facilitate lively discussions. This is an excellent opportunity to stay current with developments in digital repositories, pose questions, and network with colleagues in the field.
A single registration form is available for all three sessions. You are welcome to attend any or all of the sessions at your convenience. We look forward to your participation!
