Bazaar Glasgow 2011

[[]]

Welcome to the Glasgow EPrints Bazaar Workshop

The aim of the workshop is to give advanced training on the EPrints API and introduce the EPrints Bazaar. We will also be doing individual surgeries throughout the two days to help people with specific problems they may have. Also we are looking to improve specific parts of our documentation so any suggestions for wiki pages you would like written would be gratefully received.
