E-LIS has recently migrated to DSpace<br>AePIC CILEA - Consorzio Interuniversitario Lombardo per L'Elaborazione<br>Automatica [<a href="http://www.cilea.it/" target="_blank">http://www.cilea.it/</a>]- who is kindly offering the hosting<br>and technical maintenance of E-LIS pro bono, proposed in 2010 to<br>change from EPrints Software to DSpace due to business and maintenance<br>reasons. The E-LIS Team accepted the proposal and E-LIS was ported<br>from EPrints to DSpace between December 2010 and
January 2011 thanks<br>to the excellent work done by Susanna Mornati and Andrea Bollini's<br>team. The migration is considered complete, and just small things to<br>improve the user interface graphically should be performed during the<br>coming weeks. We know that this change may lead to some difficulties<br>for those used to depositing their documents with EPrints Software. We<br>kindly invite you to contact us at the E-LIS mailing list [http://<br>groups.google.com/group/e-lis-e-prints-in-library-and-information-<br>science] and we will help and support you in the self-archiving<br>process.<br><br>2.) New supporting organizations<br>We are glad to inform you that E-LIS repository is currently supported<br>by a broader number of institutions like CILEA through the AePIC team<br>which is managed by Susanna Mornati and supports E-LIS at technical<br>level since January 2003, FAO of the United Nations through the FAO<br>AIMS team [<a
href="http://aims.fao.org/" target="_blank">http://aims.fao.org/</a>] which is managed by Johannes Keizer<br>and supports E-LIS since 2010 and DURASPACE [http://<br>www.duraspace.org/] that supports E-LIS since 2011.<br>More information at <a href="http://eprints.rclis.org/cms/support" target="_blank">http://eprints.rclis.org/cms/support</a><br><br>3.) New E-LIS Governance<br>E-LIS, not-for-profit/non-commercial project, is organised, managed<br>and maintained by an international team of librarians, with different<br>background. Essentially, the strong part of the repository are the 60<br>national editors from 44 countries carrying out the quality control of<br>the metadata from the self-archived papers and the submission and<br>copyright policies. Supporting national editors, E-LIS has 5 regional<br>editors that help to complete this process and coordinate their work<br>as much as possible. The editorial work is performed under the<br>management of an
Executive Board that drives the policies, alliances,<br>new actions, collaborations and any topic that is of interest to E-<br>LIS. The Executive Board is made up of two chief executives, two<br>representatives of the editorial team, two representatives of CIEPI -<br>International Centre for Research in Information Strategy and<br>Development [<a href="http://www.ciepi.org/" target="_blank">http://www.ciepi.org/</a>] - which is the association created<br>by E-LIS members for representing institutionally the E-LIS interest<br>as a legal entity - and two technical representatives that have deep<br>experience on DSpace. In addition to this structure, the advisory<br>board appointed to advise the executive board is formed by<br>institutions and people that support E-LIS.<br>More information at <a href="http://eprints.rclis.org/cms/governance" target="_blank">http://eprints.rclis.org/cms/governance</a><br><br>Last but not least .... this year is the 8th
