Open Access Week Digital Repository Contest

If you can answer yes to any or all of the questions below then you could enter the Digital Repository Contest sponsored by Duraspace, SPARC and Open Access Week.

• Have you been a part of establishing or maintaining a unique digital repository that provides open access to a collection that was previously not used or under-used?
• Do you enjoy showcasing your repository’s content and the cool tools that encourage use of the materials?
• Do you have anecdotes about how access to resources from your repository changed someone’s life, or their thinking on an issue, or contributed to a breakthrough idea?

Please consider sharing your passion and knowledge of collecting, curating managing and sharing digital repository resources from every corner of the globe by entering the DuraSpace SPARC Open Access Week Contest and telling your story.

The winners will receive a $50 Amazon Gift certificate and be invited to tell their stories during the “All About Repositories” Web Seminar on Oct. 14, 2009.

Entries will be accepted through September 28, 2009. DuraSpace SPARC Open Access Week Contest winners will be announced on October 1, 2009 so watch this blog for more information.
