Congratulations to the First Graduating Class of our Scholarly Publishing Certification Course | DC Telegraph: Institutional Repository and Open Access Success Stories

"Last month eighteen IR admins from institutions across the country came to our offices in Berkeley, California for our first ever Scholarly Publishing Certification Course: A Training Program for Library-Led Publishing Initiatives. The course was a wonderful success, featuring a variety of presentations, workshops, technical training sessions, and opportunities for admins to meet one-on-one with their consultants ... Topics for the course ranged from copyright and policy considerations to pitching a publishing business plan to provosts.
