I'm not doing slides for the workshop; it's a workshop and I want it to be hands-on and participant-driven. I expect we'll do some SHERPA/RoMEO trawling, some test uploads and metadata, some cold reads of publication agreements, things like that.
If you'll be there next week, please come say hi; I look forward to meeting you! If not, keep an eye on the hashtag #scio10—I expect it'll be hopping.
