Forthcoming JISC Supported Events in Scotland

There are a couple of events in the next couple of months supported by JISC I thought worth highlighting. 

Open Edge: Open Source in Libraries
25-26th January 2011, e-Science Institute, 15 South College Street, Edinburgh

This free two day event on open source software for libraries is being run in collaboration with JISC and SCONUL. The first day is ’Haggis and Mash’, a Mashed Library event, while the second day covers broader issues, in particular how capacity might be built to enable open source solutions to flourish in HE and FE Libraries. Delegates can choose to attend either or both days of this event.
