<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is some really good webinars from the Hot Topics Webinar Series on their way, bringing with them good news (my opinion in italics):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333">Introducing DSpace 7</span></strong><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333">February 28, 2017 at 11:00a.m. ET</span></strong><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333">This webinar will enlighten the DSpace community about aspects of DSpace 7 development, an overview of the Rest API and Angular UI, the efforts and contributions
of the outreach group. This webinar will be presented by: Claire Knowles - The University of Edinburgh, Art Lowel - Atmire, Andrea Bollini - 4Science, Tim Donohue - DuraSpace.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333">The good news here is that the new Presentation Layer will be completely separated from the business layer, moving to a
<b>single page application approach</b> (JSON/AJAX – read: “no more page reloading using heavy Java classes reading from the PostgreSQL database with each page sequence”) which in itself will do away with the XSLT Mirage/Manakin based technology, and replaced
with AngularJS. Also it is fully reliant on RESTful APIs whilst maintaining its responsiveness (Bootstrap / Foundation).<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333">March 7, 2017 at 11:00a.m. ET</span></strong><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333">Managing, providing access, and preserving research data is a growing concern for many libraries as data preservation requirements and the data itself increase
in size and complexity. Join us for a discussion of how DSpace can be used for research data, a look at changes that Dryad and Datashare have made to DSpace to support research data, general research data storage issues, and what types of additional Metadata
are required to manage research data. This webinar will be presented by: Claire Knowles and Pauline Ward - The University of Edinburgh, Ryan Scherle - Dryad Digital Repository.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>I personally think DSpace has been underestimated for its ability to administer research data. Other than just looking at DataVerse, Archivematica, CKAN, etc., this webinar will be worthwhile taking a closer look at DSpace’s genetic
capabilities. Some really large academic institutions have taken this route – one should investigate carefully the reasons why.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
