Apologies for cross-postings

OAI7, the 7th Cern Workshop on Innovations in Scholarly 
Communication, at 
http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?ovw=True&confId=103325, 
is being held on 22-24 June 2011 in the University of Geneva. OAI 
Workshops are THE Open Access event in Europe in the year in 
which they are held. They bring together a community of 
librarians, IT specialists, publishers, funders and researchers 
and are a real community occasion. A full programme of papers and 
posters has been prepared by the Organising Committee for this 
event. A new development for OAI7 is the introduction of a 
session on Open Access publishing, the first time this subject 
has received such treatment at OAI Workshops. The full programme 
of Tutorials and Papers can be found at 
http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceTimeTable.py?confId=103325#20110622.

Registrations are proceeding apace and we encourage you to 
register quickly at 
http://indico.cern.ch/confRegistrationFormDisplay.py?confId=103325 
to ensure you have a place at the event. There is a Social 
Programme to accompany OAI7, which will include a visit to the 
CERN Laboratories, with the opportunity to tour some of the 
exhibitions there, as well as a buffet and the now-traditional 
drinks sharing, where every attender is invited to bring 
something to drink and share which represents their home country. 
A second social occasion will be the drinks aperitif on the 
rooftop of the University buildings, giving panoramic views 
across the city.

We look forward to meeting you in Geneva in June.
