<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Digital Library and NeDDIC Communities,</div><div><br></div><div>I would appreciate it if any of the community members have tried using Scalar. From what I can see it is an incredibly powerful tool that definitely impacts on scholarly communication, and especially in how information is presented taking data visualization to a new level, and also how we can start collaborating across institutions to bring together information from a variety of repositories.<br></div><div><br></div><div>
