ORO wins a prize!
We don’t really like to blow our own trumpets here in the ORO team, but just this once we’re going to! Sort of fresh from a hot and sticky trip to the 5th International Conference on Open Repositories in Madrid, we are very proud to announce ourselves as winners of the best poster prize! Anyone interested in looking at the poster, and its accompanying handout, can access it (of course!) in the repository: http://oro.open.ac.uk/22321/. Much credit should go to Chris Yates for putting a lot of effort into the design. Also, big thanks to Sheila Chudasama, who contributed a lot to the idea but didn’t attend the conference to scoop the glory, unlike me and Chris, who lapped it up! And finally, thanks also to Sam Dick, our Communications and Promotions Officer here in the Library, for her valuable comments on the design and layout, as well as organising the printing.
