*Reminder for users of the Open Access Tracking Project (OATP)*

If you currently subscribe to OATP feeds from Connotea, you should switch
over to the TagTeam editions of the same feeds before September 17. After
that, only the TagTeam versions of the feeds will be comprehensive and up
to date.

Likewise, if you currently tag for OATP through Connotea, you are now free
to tag for OATP from nearly any other tagging platform --including Connotea
and TagTeam themselves, but also including Delicious and CiteULike. (Yes,
TagTeam integrates tags from different platforms. We call it interoperable
tagging. If you think this is cool, you're right.)

If you don't currently subscribe to OATP feeds as a reader or help build
them as a tagger, this is a good time to start.

For details on the shift to TagTeam, see my blog post from September 8...

...or the OATP transition handout.

For details on OATP itself, see the project home page (now being updated to
reflect the transition to TagTeam).
