CfP: DSpace Anwendertreffen (User Meetup) 2021 - DSpace - LYRASIS Wiki

Call for Participation The DSpace Anwendertreffen 2021 will proceed on April 15th and April 16th, 2021 as a completely virtual meeting. It is organized and sponsored by The Library Code GmbH. This meeting is about exchange between DSpace and DSpace-CRIS users. Also the annual meeting of the DSpace Konsortium Deutschland will take place on the first day of the Anwendertreffen. We kindly ask for submissions in the format of presentations, round tables and workshops. We will not have a minute madness this year, but we will try to create a new format instead. If you have a feature in your repository, if your repository has an interesting concept, or if your repository is special in any other way and if you think that other would benefit from getting to know that, please send us an email (see below) describing this speciality. We will then come back to you with information about the new format we are thinking about. Thursday: Presentations: one or two speakers. ca. 15 minutes + 5 minutes discussion Please submit: The names of all speakers, a title of the presenation, and a short abstract. Round Tables: A space to discuss a specific topic. Estimated 30 minutes Please submit: Topics you think a round table should discuss and whether you could moderate a round table Repository specials: As explained above, we will try to create a new format to exhibit specialities of repositories (see above) Please submit: A description of the special concept, function or other speciality of your repository, the repository's URL. Friday: Workshops: Workshops shall give DSpace users the possibility to work together on a specific topic, e.g. how to connect to/use an external service or the demonstration/discussion of an add-on, for up to three hours. The DSpace-CRIS workshop, that took place in the past years, is a good example of that format. Of course, there will be a continuance of the DSpace-CRIS workshop in 2021. Please submit: Title, an abstract, a timeframe, how many users roughly you expect, and if you have any specific request like break out rooms or setup every participant should prepare. Please keep in mind that also workshops will have to be proceeded online. Contact us if you would like to consult with us beforehand. All slides and posters should be licensed CC BY 4.0, as we plan to publish them in DSpace's wiki. While the main conference language will be German, we will accept presentations, roundtables, and workshops in English as well. Please send your proposals by email to anwendertreffen@the-library-code.de within the deadline of March 26th, 2021. As always, the participation will be free of charge. We will inform you when the registration is open. Further Information can be found at: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Anwendertreffen+2021
