Washington, D.C. Open Access Week, a global event now entering its fourth year, is an opportunity for the academic and research community to learn about the potential benefits of Open Access (OA), to share ideas with colleagues, and to inspire wider participation in establishing Open Access as a new norm in scholarship and research.

The summer is always a great time to sit back, relax, and put your feet up. But this summer, the DSpace developers have been hard at work (though, we’ve also taken our respective relaxation time). We’ve been making early preparations for the upcoming DSpace 1.7 release and mentoring four successful student projects during the 2010 Google Summer of Code (GSoC).

Ithaca, NY Join Ben Bosman, CTO @mire for a free one-hour web seminar on September 8, 2010 at 11:00 EDT. He will explain how @mire’s open-source version of the “Content and Usage Analysis” DSpace module  released with DSpace 1.6 can work for you. The DSpace 1.6 statistics solution offers logging of usage data including bitstream downloads, item display page visits, and collection and community homepage visits.
