[BOAI] An Invitation to participate in the JournalTOCsAPI project

[Peter Suber]

[Forwarding from the JISC-Repositories list.  --Peter Suber.]


Dear Repository Managers,

JournalTOCsAPI is a JISC funded Rapid Innovation project which aims to 
develop a facility for monitoring current journal issues to identify papers 
published for Institutional Repositories (IRs).

The two main use cases for the project are:

1. Identifying new content for IRs by alerting when a paper affiliated to 
your institution has been published.
2. Alerting facility when deposited papers have been published in a 
scholarly journal.

The input from IR managers is a fundamental part of our project, this email 
is an invitation to become part of our community of users. We are seeking 
expert advice and opinions from our potential users. We will be happy to 
respond to any comments and will do our best to fulfil your expectations of 
such a facility.

Members of our community will be able to try early versions of the software 
tool, report bugs, suggest improvements, post comments to our blog and have 
a real influence on the functionality being implemented by the project. 
Feedback will be gathered remotely from our users through email, on-line 
surveys, skype and/or telephone. A small token of our appreciation will be 
given to all participants (most likely Amazon vouchers).

The project is based at the Institute for Computer Based Learning (ICBL) at 
Heriot-Watt University, managed by Santy Chumbe. For more information 
please visit the project blog.
