Dear Elsabe,
So glad you were able to present the development of the wonderful institutional repository at the University of Pretoria! This is a great success story so far and I wish you and your team continuing success.
I forgot to ask you for an electronic copy of your poster. Please send it to me and I will post it on the conference web site. I also look forward to the many photos that your husband took.
Best wishes
Leslie

Dear Leslie: Thanks for a wonderful conference! My personal highlight was the plenary session with Steven Harnad - he kept me spellbound! The CrownVine is an interesting tool and I enjoy being connected with all the very interesting people I met during the conference. I thoroughly enjoyed the social events - thanks for showing us your lovely campus and the beautiful Toronto and Niagra. Thanks again - I am very pleased that I attended.

Kudos to Leslie & Susanna for an outstanding conference! It was great to meet everyone, and I only wish I had had more time to talk with more people, and to go to every session.
Three open access policies were announced at ELPUB - fabulous news! For more on the open access policies at Stanford, the Ontario Institutes of Health Research, and forthcoming at Canada's National Sciences and Engineering Research Council, please see my posts on The Imaginary Journal of Poetic Economics:

The experience has been great in Toronto which will help to develop fresh enthusiasism in developing countries to have a mandate for Open Access . A great deal of Awraeness is needed at many places and Conferences, Seminars , Workshops will help in developing a lobbying for initiatives etc. Suggest more measures??

Hi Jen,
Great idea! I'd like to join, but I was wondering if I would be able to get back to the aiport in time. My flight back is on Saturday at 8:05 pm.
Kind regards,
Bert
Leslie Chan, Conference Chair:
Bert,
Good news. The tour bus can drop you off at the airport by 6:00 pm on our way back to Toronto. This should leave you with plenty of time to check in. Just bring your luggage with you on the tour! If anyone else would like to do the same (have the Niagara day tour and then to the airport), please let Jen know.

Do you need a certificate of attendance/participation?
The conference committee has asked me to check to see if any of you require a certificate of attenance or participation in the ELPUB 2008 Conference.
I'd like to prepare these in advance and give them to you with your conference package. Could you please let me know (and ask any colleagues who may also need them) if you require this certificate, and I will try to get them made up in advance so you can take them with you?
Thanks!
