EDINA Exchange: 11 May 2004

EDINA held its first open day - entitled EDINA Exchange - on 11 May 2004 at the National E-Science Centre in Edinburgh.

After the Director's introduction and overview, the morning provided the opportunity for service representatives, RSC staff and others to learn about service and project developments at EDINA. In the afternoon there were parallel sessions, with the emphasis on discussion on a range of our service areas and user support topics. The day finished with a presentation on the JISC collection strategy.
